Media literacy

While many people see media and data literacy as desirable for combating disinformation, they may not know where to find such training. [75] [76]

Safety training for journalists and others

Attacks on journalists (including the use of disinformation to harass journalists and put them at increased risk) are increasing worldwide. Safety training is recommended to help people prepare for and respond to such threats. [90] [91] [92]

Safety training for Wikipedia editors

The tactics that are used against journalists are also being used against Wikipedia editors. [103] [104] [105] Disinformation attacks on Wikipedia itself attempt to undermine its credibility. [106] [107] [108]
