ACM Masterclass |

Moderating Misinformation

Wednesday February 17

2:30 - 4:30pm AEST

 

Misinformation - from conspiracy theories, to propaganda, to coordinated attacks - is unfortunately now part of life for social media and online communities. If you're managing an online community, whether on a social media platform or an owned online forum, it's important you have a plan for identifying and moderating the spread of misinformation to protect you, your community members, your customers and your brand.

​

If you don't, misinformation can undermine community trust, deter engagement and conversion, create legal risk and derail your work to build a healthy, connected community culture.

​

In this 2 hour masterclass you'll learn:

 

  • Key trends and research insights on misinformation

  • The risks it poses for you and your online community

  • How to identify misinformation, including bots and other carriers

  • How to minimise the risk of misinformation in your online community

  • How to manage misinformation within your overall governance and moderation operations

​

This Masterclass is ideal for:

​

  • Online community managers, moderators or facilitators for customer/consumer facing brands or organisations 

  • Online community managers, moderators or facilitators for high-risk topics or regulated industries (e.g. health, financial)

  • Professional online community managers non-professional online community managers or moderators working on social media platforms (e.g. Facebook Groups) 

  • Anyone who wants to learn more about helping fight the spread of misinformation in online communities
