Hi all,
I've just spotted that Kay had already posted a link to the list while I was in the process of writing and sending my post (thanks Kay!). Apologies for duplicating the info.
All the best,

Hi Seth,
Cristian Vaccari and I have this research article that came out in Social Media and Society in February:
Deepfakes and Disinformation: Exploring the Impact of Synthetic Political Video on Deception, Uncertainty, and Trust in News
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2056305120903408
Good luck with the course.
All the best,
Andy

Hi Seth,
I might also suggest WITNESS as a resource. They've written some excellent
reports and conducted several regional workshops on risks and mitigations.
