Podcast highlights the rise, threat of fake videos

Fake videos are a new form of digital-media manipulation, and the former president and chief executive of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is warning about their dangers.

In this edition of Update-1, Thomas Kent talks to National Press Club Broadcast/Podcast team member Tom Young about technology being used to create video of events that never happened, or video of people making statements they never made. Kent describes video as the "ultimate verifier" for news consumers, but now he says they may no longer be able to believe what they see.

Update-1 is produced by Mike Hempen. The podcast can be heard here on the Club website or on iTunes, Stitcher and TuneIn.
