Understanding the Landscape

Understanding the Landscape equips learners with a systemic view of how disinformation emerges, spreads, and gains influence in contemporary digital environments.

"To counter disinformation effectively, we must first understand the landscape in which truth, power, and technology intersect."

Understanding the Landscape introduces the structural, historical, and socio-technical foundations of disinformation. This section situates information disorder within broader transformations in media systems, platform architectures, political incentives, and human cognition, enabling learners to move beyond isolated falsehoods toward a holistic understanding of the architectures that shape deception, amplification, and trust erosion in the digital age.
