Disinfo 2020: Prepping the Press

December 10, 2019
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
America/New_York
Pulitzer Hall, 2950 Broadway, New York, NY 10027 Jamail Lecture Hall
A day-long conference from Columbia Journalism School exploring how disinformation will affect the 2020 election—and what we can do about it. Next year's presidential election will challenge journalists, technology platforms, and researchers with an unprecedented wave of disinformation. Is the press prepared? What is the role of foreign intervention in the new wave of disinformation? Are the measures platforms and newsrooms are taking adequate? What is current research telling us about the threats journalists and the electorate face in 2020? Join CJR and the Tow Center for Digital Journalism for a conference featuring some of the top political and media thinkers with US and international expertise, as we identify the threats posed by disinformation and propose a plan for defending the ballot box.
