Wardle and Derakhshan’s Information disorder framework
Strategic communication phenomena: Strategic communication as a process; Models of communication; Propaganda, misinformation, disinformation
A 2017 Council of Europe report, provided a framework, using the dimensions of falseness and harm, for examining information disorder that refrained from using the term “fake news” because of the increasing use of the term by politicians to describe news organizations they don’t like, and also for its conceptual limitations to capture “the complex phenomena of information pollution” (Wardle and Derakhshan, 2017: 5-6).
- Mis-information: “false information is shared, but no harm is meant.”
- Dis-information: false information is deliberately shared to cause harm.
- Mal-information: “genuine information is shared to cause harm, often by moving information designed to stay private into the public sphere.”
- An analysis of these categories should consider as well both (1) the agent, messages, and interpreters of those messages; and (2)the process of creation, (re)production, and distribution of messages. (Ibid.)
