[Chapter-delegates] Event reminder TODAY - Fake News: annoying symptom or life-threatening disease?

[Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond]

(Remote participation link below)

Dear Colleagues,

Fake news has been a buzzword since the US election provoked a debate at
presidential level. But fake news are neither new, nor are they
geographically constrained to the United States. This global topic
stretches the limits of self-regulation as stakeholders grapple with
identifying “fake news” and figuring out what might be done about it.
>From the traditional Press to blogs, short messages and on-line videos,
this topic has challenged everyone, from human editors to machine
algorithms, from Roman times until now.

We have assembled a Team of academics, journalists, content and social
media industry, civil society and politicians to discuss fake news with
our audience.
