Participation in media literacy initiative related to fake news, misinformation or disinformation

Initiative Overview

Terminology

Is the term ‘fake news’ adequate or misleading?

Definition by the European Commission Code of Practice on Disinformation:

“As provided under the Commission's Communication, for the purpose of this Code, the Commission as well as the High Level Expert Group in its report define "Disinformation" as "verifiably false or misleading information" which, cumulatively,
(a) "Is created, presented and disseminated for economic gain or to intentionally deceive the public"; and
(b) "May cause public harm", intended as "threats to democratic political and policymaking processes as well as public goods such as the protection of EU citizens' health, the environment or security".
The notion of "Disinformation" does not include misleading advertising, reporting errors, satire and parody, or clearly identified partisan news and commentary, and is without prejudice to binding legal obligations, self-regulatory advertising codes, and standards regarding misleading advertising.”

Do you think there is a difference between misinformation and disinformation and if yes, then can you distinguish them in practice?
