[Air-L] Fake News

[Jennifer Stromer-Galley]

Just adding to this discussion a nice podcast that examines this issue from a historical point-of-view. It's Episode 5: http://manythingsconsidered.com/podcast/ 

I've also written an article in The Conversation about ways that Facebook could help reduce fake news' spread: https://theconversation.com/three-ways-facebook-could-reduce-fake-news-without-resorting-to-censorship-69033

It's an important topic, and I look forward to the excellent studies that will be spurred by this.

The Copenhagen Center for Information and Bubble Studies (Vincent Hendricks) are surely working on this.
