Tackling misinformation and disinformation

Councils are increasingly in the eye of the storm when online misinformation and disinformation spreads through their communities. Sometimes the council finds itself at the centre of a social media storm; at others, online disinformation can threaten community cohesion. To explore how to spot emerging concerns, get ahead of the narrative and act in the middle of a storm, acting editor Martin George is joined by Helena Hornby, head of community collaboration at Orlo, Jake Morgan-Stead, head of digital campaigns and communications at Lambeth LBC, and Matt Nicholls, head of communications improvement at the Local Government Association. This episode of the Local Authority is sponsored by Orlo.
