More About Disseminate
What does disseminate mean?
To disseminate is to distribute, spread, broadcast, or disperse widely.
The act or process of disseminating is dissemination.
The word is especially used in reference to the distribution of information, or things that contain information, like files and documents.
It is also associated with the official release of such information by organizations, such as a company that disseminates a press release or a government agency that disseminates information to the public.
Example: Our chief media officer is responsible for disseminating press releases to various outlets.
Where does disseminate come from?
The first records of the word disseminate come from around 1600. It comes from the Latin verb dissēmināre, from sēmināre, “to sow,” from sēmen, “seed.”
Sometimes, disseminating information is like scattering seeds in a field, with the goal being to spread it far and wide to the largest number of people possible—like when someone sends out a company-wide email. Other times, disseminating information may involve sending it to a more select set of recipients, such as a press release that’s only provided to certain journalists or news organizations. Sometimes, it happens in a much less organized way, such as on the internet, where the dissemination of information (and misinformation) is rapid and often unpredictable.
