[governance] VIDEO: Network Propaganda: Manipulation, Disinformation, and Radicalization in American Politics @BKCHarvard

[Joly MacFie]

Cynical exploitation of partisan rubbernecking, further facilitated by
social media, has led to "asymmetric polarization". While there are
extremists on both sides, there is still broad diversity from the center to
the left, however the center right is a desert, and the far right is in a
self-reinforcing spiral. Hence the current mess. Tune into our COMO3 webcast

solutions! .

<https://cyber.harvard.edu/events/2018-10-04/network-propaganda>On *October
4 2018* the *Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society
<https://cyber.harvard.edu/> *hosted a book panel event *Network
Propaganda: Manipulation, Disinformation, and Radicalization in American
Politics <https://cyber.harvard.edu/events/2018-10-04/network-propaganda>* at
Harvard Law School. Authors *Yochai Benkler*, *Robert Faris*, and *Hal
Roberts *presented the themes of *the book.  <http://bit.ly/2ypHqJN>*
Empirical analysis of millions of news stories and social media posts is
used to overturn the conventional wisdom that new technologies and foreign
agents swung the 2016 election in Trump’s favor and drove the current sense
of a “post-truth” media landscape. Rather, the authors argue that
longstanding institutional, political, and cultural patterns in American
politics have interacted with technological change since the 1970s to
create a propaganda feedback loop in American conservative media – a
dynamic that has marginalized center-right media and politicians,
radicalized the right wing ecosystem, and rendered it susceptible to
propaganda efforts, foreign and domestic. After the presentation there was
a panel discussion with respondents *Dr. Claire Wardle* and *Martha Minow.*
