Levelling up

In this episode of The Yarn, everybody is trying to stay in touch with somebody who has died. A family who turned their house into a hospital, a granddaughter burning money for her grandfather, a woman who says the dead can be booked by the hour, and a stargazer chasing light from stars that no longer exist. 

Stories by Isaure Duruy, Ruiying Tang, Olivia Wright and Jiali Hong. Hosted by Preeshita Shah.

The Hereafter

In this episode, we're joined by Craig Silverman, one of the world's leading experts on online disinformation, who says the era of tech companies funding fact-checking is over. 

Craig has spent more than two decades reporting on how our information environment gets manipulated, from a blog tracking newspaper corrections in 2004, to investigations into the digital environment for BuzzFeed News and ProPublica. He now runs Indicator, a small independent newsroom investigating digital deception.

We talk about the liar's dividend, why only using detection tools won't save journalists, and why investigative journalism may not necessarily be the best journalism. 

Craig Silverman in conversation with the Centre for Advancing Journalism's cadet Preeshita Shah and lecturers Mell Chun and Silvia Montaño-Niño.
