Ep. 81 - Navigating Anger & Disinformation in Times of Conflict

The experience of the last few weeks since the conflict escalated in Gaza has brought out a lot of emotions: grief, shock, fear, confusion, and prominently, anger. For many experiencing civil unrest from afar, it’s challenging to know how to respond, especially in the age of social media. In this episode, we focus on the constructive and destructive power of anger and sharing information. We break down how to check your impulse (and your facts) before sharing on social media, whether staying silent is acceptable, and how to stop misinformation in its tracks.
