SUMMARY:The Consequences of Misinformation
DESCRIPTION:The spread and correction of false information has historical roots in sensationalist journalism\, political disagreement\, foreign espionage\, state\, religious or ethnic propaganda\, and partisan debates: a collection of approaches far richer than suggested by the phrase “fake news.” “The Consequences of Misinformation” was a symposium on the history\, circulation\, and management of misinformation (untruths circulated without the intention to deceive) and disinformation (untruths intended to deceive). \nThe symposium was informed by social scientific and journalistic perspectives on the most effective means of understanding and countering false information\, even as it explores the challenges in doing so. The panelists spoke to three aspects of the current moment in misinformation: the status of facts/persistence of misinformation\, the speed\, virality\, and spread of misinformation\, and what we—or anyone—can do to correct or manage the misinformation that already exists. \n \nConference chairs:\nE.J. Dionne\, Senior Fellow\, The Brookings Institution and Syndicated Columnist\, The Washington Post\nJohn Sides\, Associate Professor of Political Science\, George Washington University \nConference hosts:\nMedia & Democracy program\, Social Science Research Council\nThe Brookings Institution \nWith support from:\nThe John S. and James L. Knight Foundation\nThe Democracy Fund\nThe William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
