I've been asked to write an evergreen piece on the differences between mis-, dis-, and other muddy informations.
Evergreen pieces aim to be useful outside news cycles. One example is my Uterus 101 piece last year, on how humans are among the rare mammals that evolved to abort embryos (most mammals rush to create a nurturing environment at insemination, but not our systems!) & how abortifacients work with that biology.
For a piece on mis/disinformation, what do you wish was better understood?

👍🏻 The piece isn't going to be the final word on the subject. I suspect we're laying in groundwork for other pieces especially as election & trial cycles kick into gear.
The key is to have references one can pull from easily for future work. Part of building a more robust journalistic ecosystem is developing a shared in-network vocabulary.
(Though that doesn't always mean we agree! I think it's no secret that I firmly dissent from another writer's climate change articles, e.g.)
