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.
I am an editor in NHPR’s newsroom, overseeing our coverage of health, youth & education. I have a passion for stories that help connect, inform, and empower people to be active participants in their community. I am interested in systems of power, and the space between how a policy is written and what it looks like in practice. I love audio journalism because it reaches people where they are: in their car, their kitchen, or outside shoveling snow. You can reach me with your curiosities, questions, and ideas at cphillips@nhpr.org.
