disinformation reporting ​platform

In the lead up to the 2019 South African Elections, I ​teamed up with Clint Corden and Vumile ​Mavumengwana to produce a launch campaign for ​an online disinformation reporting platform.

Thank you to our inspiring clients; Andrew Bird and ​Sarah Blake from Media Monitoring Africa.

The following are samples of writing for website, ​social media and event collateral.

411

[fawr-wuhn-wuhn ]

Informal: The 411

Information or knowledge:

“Here's the 411 on tomorrow night's party.”

Keeping it real

The always-on social media world of likes and bots is ​the new battleground for votes during elections.

What seems true could be designed to influence ​opinions and behaviour. This misleading content is ​called digital disinformation.

Digital disinformation is false, inaccurate, or ​misleading information designed, presented and ​promoted to intentionally cause public harm.

The Real411 website and app provide citizens a ​means to report suspected disinformation.

Uphold democracy and fair elections for all.

Report disinformation.

Social Media

Manga is Zulu for lies. “No more manga manga / lies lies.”
