From synthetic media to audience research on the effectiveness of human rights messages to the "dos and don'ts" of framing, Know Thy Enemy will act as a primer on fighting disinformation. In particular, the session will address three key ingredients in the disinformation campaigner's "recipe book"— narrative framing, tech manipulation, and message spread—while highlighting the successful steps that some organizations are taking to address the phenomenon more effectively.

Know Thy Enemy will explore common issues civil society organizations face with regard to disinformation. It will include time for attendees to raise issues their organization is facing with regard to disinformation, as well as time to brainstorm with panelists about how to address those issues. This session will be especially helpful to organizational communications representatives, media/storytelling strategists, and anyone interested in developing strategic narratives.
