Disinformation Tracker Template

Disinformation attacks and false narratives against Democratic candidates are nothing new, but they’re showing up more often and moving faster than most campaigns can track on their own . If you’re wondering how campaigns are supposed to keep up, on top of everything else they have to do, you’ve come to the right place. This disinformation tracker is a template you can use to give your campaign a single place to record every attack as it happens, in real time.

This spreadsheet is intended to be used alongside our Guide to Monitoring Disinformation Attacks, which contains a Breakout Scale to assist you in identifying the reach and impact of a piece of information, and guidance on how to analyze the Breakout Scale.

Included are:

• Fields to log the date, time, and platform of each disinformation attack

• Space to record the original poster's username and account link

• A column for your Breakout Scale score, so you can track severity over time

• A notes field for reach and impact details
