Emily Bell on Journalism in the Platform Era
b'
On this episode of Arbiters of Truth, the Lawfare Podcast\\u2019s miniseries on disinformation and misinformation, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic spoke with Emily Bell, the founding director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia Journalism School. Emily testified before Congress last week about the role of legacy media, and cable news in particular, in spreading disinformation, but she\\u2019s also one of the keenest observers of the online news ecosystem and knows a lot about it from her days as director of digital content for The Guardian. They talked about the relationship between online and offline media in spreading disinformation, the role different institutions need to play in fixing what\\u2019s broken and whether all the talk about \\u201cfighting misinformation\\u201d is a bit of a red herring.
