"If we keep blaming the technology, we’re never going to own the solution."
Read Melissa Bell (always an inspiration for me) - her apology, her explanation of what went wrong at the Chicago Sun-Times, and what she and her colleagues will do next. chicago.suntimes.com/opinion…

Terrific NPR story this morning covering our @IFL_Brown @wearemasfl pilot in Florida’s diaspora communities. When we train hairdressers, construction workers, local leaders as Information Navigators, they become powerful arbiters of credible information. npr.org/2024/06/14/nx-s1-498…
I was asked by @unpeacekeeping & @UNOSAPG to write a report on the overlaps & differences between hate speech, disinfo & misinfo, with a particular focus on conflict settings. Hope it's useful for research, practice & policy.

We’ve already seen deepfakes infiltrating the 2024 election cycle. Just how will this impact voters? Misinformation experts @SamGregory and @cward1e discuss what’s at stake. This conversation is part of the WNET series "Take on Fake." @hari youtu.be/OPYv9SvY4Uk

When we asked diaspora communities in South Florida about their questions & concerns, here is one we didn't expect:
"Alexa says there will be no election in 2024"
Information inequities breed misinformation vulnerabilities--we explain how in a new white paper with @wearemasfl
🧵 Amid a heated election cycle, it's especially critical that everyone has access to trustworthy info. In a new pilot project, @IFL_Brown & @wearemasfl found significant information inequities affecting Hispanic diaspora communities in South Florida. tinyurl.com/mr3se78a

Many thx to @auditedmedia for supporting @journal_list and our trust.txt system. By engaging ~1,100 media members, AAM is sending a collective trust signal that will elevate dependable news sites and distinguish journalists from misinformation peddlers. bit.ly/aam-trust
Very excited about our first cohort of @IFL_Brown Fellows. They are all people working on these issues every day, so I already know the impact is going to be significant.

🧵 In the lead-up to almost every election around the world since 2016, we’ve seen the same “zombie” rumors, even some of the same manipulated or out-of-context images and videos circulating. But with the US midterms next Tuesday, we’re likely to see something a bit different.
This looks really useful. Thanks for pulling it together @IOpartnership
