# Claire Wardle Researcher and a leading authority on misinformation and information disorder, co-founder of the nonprofit First Draft. She developed the widely adopted taxonomy distinguishing **mis-, dis-, and mal-information** and the "seven types of mis- and disinformation," frameworks now standard in the study of online information ecosystems. Her conceptual vocabulary underpins much of the Right Wing KB's disinformation lexicon. > [!note] Stub > Minimum-viable page created to resolve inbound wikilinks.
