In a world where falsehoods sometimes come directly from our elected officials, how do we spot “disinformation" when we see it? 

This hour, what’s the science behind uncovering “fake news?”

Coming up, we hear how a new Harvard University digital research platform is working to track and study disinformation campaigns. These types of campaigns are more sophisticated than you might think. But the more we can learn to identify disinformation, the more we can combat it. 

We’ll also learn how we can become more media literate, and even teach our children how to look at media (and social media) with a critical eye.
