Repetition increases the likelihood that a statement will be judged as true.
To counter mis- and disinformation, PRSA is using the power of reputation, creating shareable content and encouraging people to amplify messaging aimed at slowing the spread of disinformation. PRSA, with the help of The Swing Agency, Hofstra University’s student-run firm, has produced a series of shareable graphics for posts, slideshows and stories.
ACT NOW… Amplify social media content, connect about disinformation, Take Action.
Based on numerous studies, pausing to consider why a headline is true or false can help reduce the sharing of false news. With this in mind, PRSA members should use their voice and proactively encourage your publics to pause, even briefly, to consider and/or verify the credibility of information before sharing it via social media. Share on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
