The Science and Practice of Social Trust and Misinformation

We live in a world where facts are confounded with fiction and trust in credible sources of information is constantly challenged and truth is whatever someone reads on internet and supports their predetermined beliefs.
So how can public relations professionals and communications managers combat misinformation and help to have a more positive impact on internal and external decisions that may impact their organization's overall mission. 

In this interactive session, Dr. Flynn will share the results of his five-year study on influencing trust, behaviour and credibility in the information we create.
