SUMMARY:Foreign Interference & Propaganda: What We Know and What to Expect | NYU Center for Social Media and Politics
DESCRIPTION:Since Russia’s attempt to interfere with the 2016 election\, the political and scholarly community has focused considerable attention on foreign influence in American politics. Researchers and media have investigated the scale and impact of Russia’s campaign\, and U.S. lawmakers are now increasingly concerned about national security risks surrounding China’s ownership of TikTok. What do we know about foreign influence since 2016 and how do we expect it to shift in the coming years? This virtual event brings together leading scholars to discuss how Russia and China have used traditional and digital media to shape global perceptions\, the role state-controlled agencies play in advancing propaganda\, and how tactics could continue to change heading into the 2024 election cycle. \nPanelists: \nRenée DiResta – Research Manager\, Stanford Internet Observatory \nKathleen Hall Jamieson – Elizabeth Ware Packard Professor of Communication\, University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication \nJennifer Pan – Professor of Communication\, Stanford University \nJoshua A. Tucker – Co-Director\, NYU’s Center for Social Media and Politics (moderator) \nThis event is co-sponsored by the NYU Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia.

SUMMARY:Digital Policy Rounds: Mis/disinformation and the Question of Authenticity | Centre for Media\, Technology\, and Democracy
DESCRIPTION:While mis- and dis-information is primarily understood in terms of its facticity\, or lack thereof\, the very circulation of information such as news stories is tied to the cultural contexts in which people come to trust and rely on certain channels of information. Tackling misinformation\, then\, requires not just repudiation of its claims but an understanding of how and why its claims become significant — through what cultural channels — for certain groups of people. How do these channels influence what people will believe in their news and information consumption habits? How do recommender algorithms shape cultural channels that mark certain information as compelling? How does understanding the cultural sites of meaning-making help us address mis- and dis-information? \nThis panel seeks to surface the cultural dimensions of mis- and dis-information through the lens of authenticity: how claims to truthfulness and facticity are recognized as believable by communities\, and so how those claims are authenticated as truth or facts. Our panelists will discuss the historical\, technological\, and political aspects of claiming access to an authentic reality\, and how addressing mis- and dis-information through policy requires engaging culturally with those claims. \nRegister to receive the event Zoom link on the day of the event.

SUMMARY:“Weaponizing Misogyny”: Gender-Based Harassment’s Impact on Journalists and Free Expression | Berkman Klein Center
DESCRIPTION:Whether they are reporting on gun violence\, covering protests in the post-Dobbs era\, or sharing information about COVID with the public\, journalists are on the frontlines\, bringing important issues to light. But the risks of that reporting don’t lie equally with everyone. White women journalists face much more significant harassment than their white male counterparts\, and women of color face harassment based on their gender\, race/ethnicity\, or both at the same time. \n[…]
