Event Details
CFE Virtual Forum Series:
Digital platforms are perfect delivery systems for gossip and entertainment. Unfortunately they now distribute most of our news. What should we do when the structural flaws of social media distort the public sphere by incentivizing misinformation, filter bubbles, electoral interference and trolling? Join a panel that will discuss how large platforms like Facebook and Twitter have distorted newsgathering and public interest debate, and what might be done to correct this.
