>From Fake Video to Twitter Bots: Tips & Tricks For Exposing Disinfo

Political campaigns are now taking place online and disinformation is increasingly a part of the information ecosystem. As newsrooms gear up for 2020 election coverage, they'll need to beef up their disinfo-spotting skills as well. When it comes to identifying fake video and social media bots, all it takes is a little practice.

In this session, Nadine Ajaka of the Washington Post and Andy Carvin of the Digital Forensic Research Lab will demonstrate their methodologies for spotting fake video and social media bots.

The session is designed for:

>Journalists interested in covering disinformation but aren't sure where to start.

>Newsrooms already engaged in disinformation-related reporting

>Anyone looking to learn how to identify potential disinformation in these forms and gaining the tools for teaching their newsrooms how to do the same

An additional element I am reading over right now and also working to validate their information.

This is UK centric, but DFRLab is present in the information. Some on the information is older, but I do not think it is anything beyond reason and may help link associations.

Open Information Partnership(https://openinformationpartnership.org), a partner with DFRLab, along with Bellingcat, Media Diversity Institute, and Zinc Networks. Their website is exceedingly sparce. I have seen DFRLab people also have bellingcat ties, some having moved on to The Independent or The Guardian. Here is part of the Media Diversity about us info.

What do we do?

The Media Diversity Institute (MDI) works internationally to encourage and facilitate responsible media coverage of diversity. It aims to prevent the media from intentionally or unintentionally spreading prejudice, intolerance and hatred which can lead to social tensions, disputes and violent conflict. MDI encourages instead, fair, accurate, inclusive and sensitive media coverage in order to promote understanding between different groups and cultures.

The rationale

The powerful influence of the media on our societies is well known – it shapes our views and our behaviour. Although the media often aggravate divisions in society, exclude moderate and minority voices, and foment conflict, they also possess an enormous capacity to contribute to the solution of these very problems.

People experience diversity in many ways: race, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religious belief, age, income, and so on. Diversity can inspire social and economic progress, vibrant communities, and a richness of life. All too often, however, diversity engenders inequality, suspicion, fear, discrimination, repression, and violent conflict.

Journalists and media organisations hold a unique power to shape our experience of diversity. Through their actions, they can help diverse communities gain visibility and acceptance, or they can exacerbate misunderstanding and create division among different groups and cultures. The war in the former Yugoslavia and the genocide in Rwanda are among the more extreme examples of how the media can play a powerful role in tearing apart multi-ethnic communities by inciting hatred but, in all societies across the world, almost without exception, prejudice, intolerance, and misunderstanding fostered by the media cause various levels of problems and difficulties.

MDI believes it is critically important that the international community explore the vast potential of the media to help foster tolerance and understanding between different groups and cultures.
