Election Countdown: Combating the Most Dangerous Disinformation Trends

As the 2024 presidential election approaches, political disinformation is surging — both from within the U.S. and by foreign actors. But what are the biggest dangers? AI and deep fakes? Social media amplification of lies and incitement to violence? Americans’ distrust of the media and other institutions? Just four weeks from the election, PEN America has gathered top journalists and researchers who battle disinformation to let you know what they’re seeing, what concerns them most, and how voters can identify and counter disinformation during the final countdown.

Join PEN America for a timely webinar featuring experts at the forefront of combating political disinformation. Moderated by Nina Jankowicz, co-founder of the American Sunlight Project, the panel includes: Roberta Braga, founder of the Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas; Tiffany Hsu, disinformation reporter for The New York Times; Brett Neely, supervising editor of NPR’s disinformation reporting team; and Samuel Woolley, University of Pittsburgh professor, disinformation researcher and author.

For those who can’t attend live, register today and the recording will be delivered to your inbox.
