Disinformation Analyst, Anti-Defamation League (ADL)
2023
Sara Aniano is a Disinformation Analyst at the Anti-Defamation League Center on Extremism. She joined ADL after earning her master’s degree in communication from Monmouth University. Sara regularly tracks false and misleading narratives across various groups and platforms to identify those which embolden extremists, target vulnerable individuals or threaten the democratic process. From fringe to mainstream media, she hopes to shed light on the strategies and repercussions of misinformation, disinformation and conspiracy theories, as well as hold accountable those who allow these harmful narratives to spread.
It is a tragic reality that hateful ideology has found fertile ground online and offline, with consequences affecting not only Americans but people around the world. We cannot stand idle in the face of bias, bigotry, and extremism. Together, at the Eradicate Hate Summit and beyond, the collective will of individuals and organizations is needed to galvanize all people of good will to protect and defend our communities.
