Misinformation isn't simply an information problem—it's a human communication problem. When people encounter information that challenges their beliefs, identities, communities, or trusted sources, simply providing the “right” information can sometimes make the conversation worse.
Through this webinar, we explore how librarians can approach misinformation through a relational communication lens. That is, rather than focusing solely on correcting false claims, you will learn how to interpret and listen, reflect and analyze emotional responses, as well as remain mindful of maintaining the relationship.
- Through this workshop, you will learn how to:
- Understand why misinformation is a relational challenge.
- Identify the importance of trust, emotional responses, and relationship maintenance behaviors in a communication pattern.
- Apply communication strategies to navigate challenging misinformation conversations with patrons, staff members, and colleagues.
