The War On Fake News
The internet is awash with made-up news stories. It\u2019s not a new problem, but the highly charged US election campaign forced people to pay attention. This week on World Hacks we\u2019re speaking to some of those fighting back against what they see as a threat to democracy: the fake news epidemic. We hear from guests including Le Monde\u2019s Samuel Laurent, Democratic State Senator Bill Dodd of California, and Claire Wardle from journalism non-profit First Draft.
Presented by Sahar Zand.
Produced by Harriet Noble.
