SPECIALIST SPEAKERS ON DISINFORMATION, PROPAGANDA, DECEPTION, DEEPFAKES AND FAKE NEWS
No-one had heard the words ‘fake news’ until well into the twenty-first century. But disinformation has been part of propaganda, politics, and warfare, for centuries. King Edward I of England made ‘false news’ an offence eight hundred years ago! Today personalisation via social media, and the industrialisation of the creation of dubious content is commonplace in the ‘post-truth’ news environment. And the era of deep-fake video content could well lead us to mistrust almost all media with profound outcomes for society. Specialist Speakers on disinformation deal with the social and political implications as well the technical and journalistic aspects of its creation. None of them will eat your hamster.
