Hi All,

 

Hat Tip to Sebastian Krutkowski at Roehampton who recently shared the below on Twitter. It’s a really fascinating report!

 

http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/mediapolicyproject/2018/11/19/tackling-the-information-crisis-a-new-report-from-lse/

 

Excerpt:

“What kind of information society do you want? How should we reduce the amount of misinformation? How can we protect democracy from digital damage? How can we help people make the most of the extraordinary opportunities of the Internet while avoiding the harm it can cause?

 

For a year the LSE Truth, Trust and Technology Commission (T3) has been grappling with these key questions. Sparked by the anxieties caused by so-called fake news, the Commission has now come up with a policy agenda for tackling the information crisis.

 

Working with politicians, technologists, journalists, academics and others from a range of sectors and the general public, we have published this report that sets out a wide-ranging strategy to build a more resilient media system fit for the information ecosystem in the UK.”

 

Best wishes,

Erin
