Misinformation and disinformation can add to anxiety of an already stressful election. NPR offers some advice about how to protect yourself from the bad stuff.
- Keep in mind results can shift dramatically throughout election night, depending on which ballots are counted first.
- Misleading information is often created to confuse or provoke an emotional reaction. If you feel this, it may be a sign to slow down, pause and do some research.
- Consider how trustworthy your source is. If you don’t see multiple news outlets reporting a story, it is a sign to wait before sharing.
