In this episode of Need to Know with Dr. Nsenga Burton, presented by A Black Executive Perspective, Dr. Burton explains the difference between misinformation and disinformation, and why both have serious consequences.
Misinformation can be accidental, but it can still mislead people. Disinformation is different. It is intentional, organized, and often designed to harm reputations, shift public opinion, or manipulate how people understand events.
Dr. Burton connects this issue to politics, media soundbites, AI, deepfakes, and the public conversation surrounding Jordan Chiles and the Olympics. Her message is clear: before we repeat, repost, or react, we need to practice discernment.
This episode is about truth, accountability, media literacy, and learning how not to be manipulated by narratives designed to divide, distract, or deceive.
