The Response: Fighting Misinformation in the Aftermath of the Mexico City Earthquake
b'
In the aftermath of a disaster, information can mean the difference between life and death. After the earthquake hit in Mexico City, it wasn\\u2019t just buildings that collapsed, the normal lines of communication that connect the city did as well. It was in this dangerous state of confusion and chaos that a group of friends using WhatsApp to share information ended up creating what later became known as\\xa0Verificado19s, a spontaneous, grassroots initiative that consisted of a vast network of volunteers that traveled throughout the city to gather and verify information. Special thanks to the podcast "The Response."
