Understanding the differences between misinformation and disinformation can help you decide whether media sources are worthy of your trust or not.
- Misinformation: false or inaccurate information shared without intent to deceive (e.g., a mistaken headline reshared).
- Disinformation: false information created and spread deliberately to mislead (e.g., propaganda or coordinated deception).
Knowing which you're seeing helps you judge whether errors are accidental (fixable) or intentional (a sign to distrust the source).
