    News Report from this Media Briefing

    Event Overview

    The upcoming mid-term elections — which will shape politics at local, state and national levels — come as voters are bombarded with disinformation that sows distrust in the political process, promotes false narratives and targets ethnic communities in their own language.

    There is little push-back to challenge the daily barrage of fake news — be it the “big lie” about stolen elections, distortions about immigrants or messages that target ethnic communities in their own language.

    Our expert panel will cover a variety of angles regarding disinformation and how it is likely to affect these elections and the future of democracy in the United States.
