SUMMARY:Harvard Workshop on Comparative Disinformation
DESCRIPTION:“From misleading news stories around the 2018 Brazil elections to a lynching linked to false social media messages in India in 2019\, the deluge of digital disinformation is affecting communications in many countries around the world. \nThe situation is particularly concerning in emerging democracies\, where availability and affordability of digital communication technologies have facilitated production and distribution of false or misleading digital content among populations with low levels of media and digital literacy. At the same time\, we are witnessing false narratives spreading across countries and across platforms often orchestrated by networks of operatives coordinating attacks internationally. \nWhile several academic workshops have been organized on the topic of disinformation\, little attention has been paid to the examination of disinformation from comparative and international perspectives. \nThe Workshop on Disinformation to be held at Harvard University in Cambridge\, MA on October 4\, 2019 will feature scholars from around the world discussing their research on the prevalence\, impact\, and diffusion of disinformation.”

SUMMARY:The Powers & Perils of Social Media
DESCRIPTION:“Facebook\, Twitter\, Instagram\, and other social media platforms have transformed people’s relationships with culture\, the media\, and one another. These technologies have demonstrated that they have the power to sway popular opinion\, raise awareness\, and inspire movements. They can spark\, build\, and foster community…or be manipulated to create negativity and discord. \n\n\n\n\nJoin the National Institute of Social Sciences for a first-of-its-kind forum exploring social media’s pervasive influence on our society\, politics\, and culture. Dario Spina\, chief marketing officer at Viacom Velocity\, will lead a high-level discussion with experts from academia\, journalism\, social technology\, and industry. \nThe forum will begin at noon on Thursday\, October 17\, 2019 at Viacom’s White Box event space\, at its New York headquarters at 1515 Broadway. Tickets\, including a box lunch\, begin at $50 ($25 for students with ID).”
