SUMMARY:MisinfoCon Webinar on Police Misinformation | MisinfoCon & MuckRock
DESCRIPTION:Misinformation and disinformation originating from law enforcement sources\, which has lately included Antifa raids\, brick piles\, poisoned milkshakes and more\, has sparked considerable interest in the past few months. But journalists who cover the police say this is common — even the rule. \nWhen police in Buffalo\, N.Y.\, pushed a 75-year-old man to the ground at a George Floyd protest\, the incident was filmed by a journalist\, posted online\, and spread widely by an audience hungry for this kind of news. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Combatting COVID-19 misinformation with machine learning (VB Live) | VentureBeat
DESCRIPTION:Misinformation around COVID-19 is driving human behavior across the world. Here in the information age\, sensationalized clickbait headlines are crowding out actual fact-based content\, and\, as a result misinformation spreads virally. Conversations within small communities become the epicenter of false information\, and that misinformation spreads as people talk\, both online and off. As the number of misinformed people grow\, this “infodemic” grows. \nThe spread of misinformation around COVID-19 is especially problematic\, because it could overshadow the key messaging around safety measures from public health and government officials. \nIn an effort to counter misinformed narratives in central and west Africa\, Novetta Mission Analytics (NMA) is working with Africa CDC (Center for Disease Control) to discover and identify narratives and behavior patterns around the disease\, says David Cyprian\, product owner at Novetta. And machine learning is key. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Fighting Election Disinformation with First-Time Voters | PEN America
DESCRIPTION:Join PEN America on Wednesday\, September 30 at 6:30pm ET for a live and interactive media literacy workshop that will focus on examples of mis/disinformation targeting first-time voters and helpful strategies that new voters can employ to guard against misleading election information and cast their ballots safely and confidently. \nVoting for the first time can be nerve-racking\, and it’s hard enough navigating through the slew of information about how\, when\, and where to vote in a normal election year. Because 2020’s is everything but a “normal” election season\, PEN America is here to work with first-time voters on spotting and stopping mis/disinformation that we are seeing or expect to encounter in the following weeks leading up to Election Day. We’ll discuss how to debunk mail-in ballot issues\, review registration deadlines\, and map out which states are likely to have longer delays. We will learn to apply PEN America’s Media Literacy Toolkit to the influx of false content about the election and voting process so participants are prepared to discern fact from falsehood and vote securely for the first time. \n[…]\n\n
