Podcast explores disinformation and the 2020 presidential election

How much of a factor will disinformation be in the 2020 presidential election?

In the latest edition of the National Press Club podcast Update-1, Paul Barrett, the deputy director of the New York University Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, talks to Club Broadcast/Podcast Committee member Irv Chapman about the spread of disinformation that already has occurred, the different forms of disinformation and some examples of how it has played out. Barrett also discusses what social media companies have done and still can do to limit the impact of disinformation, and offers some advice to social media users who encounter what they consider to be questionable information.

Club Broadcast/Podcast team co-vice chair Mike Hempen produces Update-1. The podcast can be heard on the Club website or on iTunes, Stitcher and TuneIn.
