Yesterday the PR Watch staff launched a new website - an "open source" encyclopedia of propaganda that we have dubbed the "Disinfopedia." The Disinfopedia lets people like you contribute your knowledge about PR front groups and propaganda to a growing, ever-improving database that will serve as a resource for citizens and journalists. Users have already added dozens of new articles to the Disinfopedia. We have also received a number of questions that we have tried to answer in the Disinfopedia's FAQ section, including:
- What if someone tries to insert false information into the Disinfopedia itself?
- How do I edit a page?
- Who came up with that cool Disinfopedia logo?
The Disinfopedia is a self-conscious experiment in alternative forms of information-gathering and publication. We hope you like what you see, and that you'll become one of our regular contributors!
