From combating misinformation on social media sites to impartial reporting to detecting staged photos, the ability to fact-check and debunk fraudulent information is key in online research. The proliferation of OSINT adoption makes verification and analysis more important than ever.

Tuesdays, September to October, hosts Matt Ashburn and Jeff Phillips sit down with experts in spotting false information in regards to:

  • Foreign influence, election fraud and disinformation
  • Fact-checking journalistic sources and countering “fake news”
  • Photos from war zones and the role of amateur Twitter sleuths
