UK | The War on Fake News
The internet is awash with made-up news stories. It’s not a new problem, but the highly charged US election campaign forced people to pay attention. Sahar Zand speaks to some of those fighting back against what they see as a threat to democracy: the fake news epidemic. We hear from guests including Le Monde’s Samuel Laurent, Democratic State Senator Bill Dodd of California, and Claire Wardle from journalism non-profit First Draft.
