We sometimes use one term in place of the other.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Misinformation is incorrect or misleading information. This is the spin version of a lie. Misinformation is incorrect or inaccurate information that causes people to be misinformed but not created with the intention of causing harm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Disinformation is more sinister. Its false information deliberately and often covertly spread in order to influence public opinion or obscure the truth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If people have incorrect information, there can be very real consequences as perception can be reality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Effective communication planning needs to account for rumours or disinformation, and the risk that they could intensify the gravity of a critical event.<\/p>\n<div style='text-align:center' class='yasr-auto-insert-visitor'><!--Yasr Visitor Votes Shortcode--><div id='yasr_visitor_votes_69abe70cd9348' class='yasr-visitor-votes'><div class=\"yasr-custom-text-vv-before yasr-custom-text-vv-before-1495\">Click to rate this post!<\/div><div id='yasr-vv-second-row-container-69abe70cd9348'\r\n                                        class='yasr-vv-second-row-container'><div id='yasr-visitor-votes-rater-69abe70cd9348'\r\n                                      class='yasr-rater-stars-vv'\r\n                                      data-rater-postid='1495'\r\n                                      data-rating='0'\r\n                                      data-rater-starsize='16'\r\n                                      data-rater-readonly='true'\r\n                                      data-rater-nonce='cf80b32776'\r\n                                      data-issingular='false'\r\n                                    ><\/div><div class=\"yasr-vv-stats-text-container\" id=\"yasr-vv-stats-text-container-69abe70cd9348\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"\r\n                                   class=\"yasr-dashicons-visitor-stats\"\r\n                                   data-postid=\"1495\"\r\n                                   id=\"yasr-stats-dashicon-69abe70cd9348\">\r\n                                   <path d=\"M18 18v-16h-4v16h4zM12 18v-11h-4v11h4zM6 18v-8h-4v8h4z\"><\/path>\r\n                               <\/svg><span id=\"yasr-vv-text-container-69abe70cd9348\" class=\"yasr-vv-text-container\">[Total: <span id=\"yasr-vv-votes-number-container-69abe70cd9348\">0<\/span>  Average: <span id=\"yasr-vv-average-container-69abe70cd9348\">0<\/span>]<\/span><\/div><div id='yasr-vv-loader-69abe70cd9348' class='yasr-vv-container-loader'><\/div><\/div><div id='yasr-vv-bottom-container-69abe70cd9348' class='yasr-vv-bottom-container'><div class='yasr-small-block-bold'><span class='yasr-visitor-votes-must-sign-in'>You must sign in to vote<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--End Yasr Visitor Votes Shortcode--><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the high-speed information free-for-all on social media platforms and the internet, everyone can be a publisher.
