The war on information: misinformation, disinformation and what we can do about it

This timely installment of the Open.Ed series tackles one of the most pressing global scale problems: the spread of fake news and information in our always-on, digitally-connected world.  With special guest Sinan Aral, our panel discussion unpacks how we can vet the cascade of information available at our fingertips and find the true signal through the din of all this false noise.

As students, families, and the world at-large grapple with the implications of this war on information, our conversation will also shed light on how we can adapt our thinking and counteract the impact of misinformation in the field of education and beyond.
