Civics 101 Summer Series: Disinformation, Misinformation, and Propaganda

Join NHPR’s Civics 101 this summer for a six-part broadcast series hosted by Hannah McCarthy and Nick Capodice.

This episode of Civics 101: Disinformation, Misinformation, Propaganda airs Monday, August 19, 2024 at 1 p.m. on NHPR and NHPR.org.

In preparation for the upcoming election, we’re going to talk about lies. Civics 101, New Hampshire Public Radio’s show about how our democracy works, dives into the difference between misinformation and disinformation, and how to avoid it. We’ll also talk about our government's history with propaganda.

Our guests for this episode are Samantha Lai of the Brookings Institute and Peter Adams of the News Literacy Project.

Nick has been the co-host and Education Outreach Producer for Civics 101 since 2018, where he creates episodes and works with teachers across the country to design lesson plans to pair with the show.
Hannah McCarthy first came to NHPR an intern in 2015, returned as a Fellow the following year and then bounced around as a reporter and producer before landing as co-host of Civics 101. She has reported on everything from the opioid epidemic to State House politics to haunted woods of New Hampshire.
Christina joined the Civics 101 team in 2021. Previously, she worked on The Exchange, NHPR's flagship live news talk program, where she produced shows on topics including healthcare, social services, politics, and breaking news. She grew up all over the country, but considers New Hampshire her home base.
