misinformation paradigm

The misinformation paradigm refers to the way false or misleading information spreads and influences public understanding. It recognizes that misinformation can come from various sources, intentionally or unintentionally, and can be shared through social media, news outlets, or personal conversations. This paradigm emphasizes that people's beliefs and behaviors can be shaped by the quality, credibility, and context of the information they encounter. Addressing this requires understanding how misinformation is created, spread, and received, and developing strategies to promote accurate, reliable information while reducing the impact of false content.
