    Information Disorder:
    Definition, Types, and Categories
    Introduction
    In this media saturated society, it is undeniable

    that we are being bombarded by a lot of information

    from different sources. Maybe this is because of what

    we call information explosion, which refers to the

    availability of enormous amounts of information,

    often in real time, from different sources.


    It has become easy to access and retrieve information

    on nearly everything via the Internet and other media.

    Today, it is never a problem for us where specifically

    we can get these information (thanks to information

    explosion), what matters the most today is how do we go on

    evaluating these tons of information around us? How can we

    know which is true, and which is not?


    Information Disorder: Its Definition
    There are terms that are most appropriate for the type of

    content; whether that’s propaganda, lies, conspiracies, rumors,

    hoaxes, hyper partisan content, falsehoods or manipulated

    media. However, it is preferred to use the terms disinformation,

    misinformation and mal-information. Collectively, they are

    called as information disorder.


    Types of Information Disorder: Disinformation

    Disinformation is content that is intentionally false

    and designed to cause harm.

    It is motivated by three distinct factors: to make

    money; to have political influence, either foreign or

    domestic; or to cause trouble for the sake of it.


    Types of Information Disorder: Misinformation

    When disinformation is shared it often turns into

    misinformation. Misinformation also describes false content

    but the person sharing doesn’t realize that it is false or

    misleading.
    Types of Information Disorder: Misinformation

    Often a piece of disinformation is picked up by

    someone who doesn’t realize it’s false, and shares it with

    their networks, believing that they are helping. The sharing

    of misinformation is driven by socio-psychological factors.


    Types of Information Disorder: Mal-information

    The third type is what we call mal-information. The

    term describes genuine information that is shared with an

    intent to cause harm. Example of this is publicizing private

    and sensitive conversation to malign the reputation of a

    person.
    Categories of Information Disorder

    Satire and Parody

    Could be considered as a form of art. However, in a

    world where people increasingly receive information via

    their social feeds, there has been confusion when it is not

    understood a content is satirical.


    Categories of Information Disorder

    False Connection

    When headlines, visuals, or captions do not support

    the content, this is an example of false connection.

    The most common example of this type of content is

    clickbait headlines.
    Categories of Information Disorder

    Misleading Content

    When there is a misleading use of information to

    frame issues or individuals in certain ways by cropping

    photos, or choosing quotes or statistics, selectively. This is

    called Framing Theory.


    Categories of Information Disorder

    False Context

    This category happens when genuine imagery is re-

    shared as new. It often happens during a breaking news

    event when old imagery is re-shared, but it also happens

    when old news articles are re-shared as new.


    Categories of Information Disorder

    Imposter Content

    When journalists are having their bylines used

    alongside articles they did not write, or organization's logos

    used in videos or images that they did not create.


    Categories of Information Disorder

    Manipulated Content

    When genuine content is tampered with or doctored

    in some way, used to deceive media consumers.


    Categories of Information Disorder

    Fabricated Content

    When a media content is “100% false”. No element in

    the media content is found to be true. Everything is hundred

    percent “fictitious” to cause damage to individuals or

    organizations.
