Program Overview: What is Countering Disinformation and Information Integrity?
Countering Disinformation & Information Integrity is Edstellar's instructor-led program for communications, trust-and-safety, and public-affairs teams defending the information environment. Participants study the disinformation ecosystem and threat landscape, detection with verification and source provenance, monitoring dashboards and triage workflows, response playbooks with rumor correction and prebunking, and policy frameworks with multi-stakeholder coordination. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab.
Training runs like an operations center. Teams verify sources, triage alerts on monitoring dashboards, and rehearse response playbooks and prebunking campaigns in guided sessions with instructor feedback. Coordination exercises bring policy and stakeholders into the loop. The program closes with a capstone: a full simulated disinformation incident the team detects, triages, responds to, and reviews.
Disinformation moves faster than any press release, and teams without practiced routines react late, correct weakly, and lose the narrative. This program teaches detection discipline, triage workflows, response playbooks, and prebunking, so your team shapes the information environment instead of chasing it.
The capstone incident is the fire drill that makes the team real: a full simulated disinformation incident with detection, verification, triage, response, rumor correction, stakeholder coordination, and after-action review, run live by your team while instructors inject the chaos real incidents bring. They leave with playbooks, checklists, and monitoring guides they can deploy immediately. The next narrative attack will not catch a team that has already fought one, debriefed it, and fixed the gaps.
Six modules and 24 hours: disinformation foundations, verification techniques, monitoring and triage, response playbooks, policy governance, and a capstone response exercise. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each technique is practiced. It closes with a full simulated incident the team detects, triages, responds to, and reviews.
Delivery is hybrid across virtual and onsite sessions, scheduled around your calendar. Cohorts train together and leave with playbooks, checklists, and monitoring guides they can deploy immediately.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Countering disinformation builds on security awareness and deepfake detection, because false narratives often use synthetic media and social engineering. Once your team can spot and counter disinformation, it is better placed to communicate clearly during a crisis.

Build Information Integrity Responses Around Verification Evidence and Clear Accountability
Edstellar develops information-integrity capability through source tracing, monitoring, triage, and evidence-first communication. Participants evaluate suspect material and prepare correction and coordination plans using realistic cases. The final incident simulation reviews the quality of verification, the justification for response priorities, and the clarity of decision ownership under pressure.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore public-information responsibilities and channel familiarity to identify gaps in source verification, rumor triage, evidence-based correction, and coordinated response decisions.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish threat taxonomy before verification and provenance, monitoring workflows, correction and prebunking, then governance and the integrated information-integrity response exercise.
- Step 03
Align
We align verification facilitation with communications, policy, digital-service, and civic-engagement roles, matching monitoring tools and escalation practice to the cohort's governance context.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor suspect-media samples, fictional rumor queues, and event scenarios to relevant channels while preserving source uncertainty and distinguishing evidence from assumptions.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants trace media origins, score escalation priorities, and draft corrections, receiving feedback on evidence quality, proportionality, message accuracy, and decision ownership.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the incident response for documented verification, justified triage, clear evidence-first communication, and accountable coordination with appropriate recognition of unresolved uncertainty.
