"Newsrooms must transform from reporting centers into #information assessment centers that certify reality for audiences." -#CASISCon2024

"Misinformation is far more insidious than disinformation - it's about telegraphing your beliefs and reinforcing in-group belonging, making it a tool for social identity." #CASISCon2024

"Modern #journalism requires a structured approach to information verification through systematic questioning and contextual analysis." #CASISCon2024 #misinformation #disinformation

Next up, we're excited to introduce a live simulation by Rubén Arcos on "Anticipatory Approaches to #Disinformation: The Role of Tradecraft in Strengthening #Resilience."

"To analyze information, we should be considering who the source is, their potential intentions, the effects of the information, and in the long-term how this information may influence behaviour." #CASISCon2024

We're now wrapping up our group exercise and about to take questions about the role of tradecraft in combating disinformation. #CASISCon2024 #misinformation #disinformation

Resuming #CASISCon2024, we're now hosting a discussion on "Questions Raised by the Recently Released Canadian Intelligence Priorities."

"To determine what threats we should dedicate our limited resources to addressing, we must also assess the risk associated with these threats." #CASISCon2024

Next up, to close out the conference, we'll be hosting J.M. Berger with "Knowledge resides in consensus: How extremists try to control truth through social dynamics." #extremism #influence

"In the social construction of reality, people verify their understanding of their values by consulting their in-group. When an in-group's consensus is challenged, the conflict can be seen as existential, therefore demanding an urgent response." #CASISCon2024

"#Extremism is about beliefs. One doesn't need to be violent to be extremist." #CASISCon2024
