Disinformation is as old as humanity. But the rise of social media has made disinformation even more pervasive and pernicious. During the final three years of the Obama administration, author and former Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Richard Stengel was on the front lines of this new global information war. Tasked with unpacking, disproving, and combating both ISIS’s messaging and Russian disinformation over the years, Richard also witnessed the use of disinformation with American voters in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Listen to a conversation with author Richard Stengel as he discusses his new book, “Information Wars: How We Lost the Global Battle Against Disinformation and What We Can Do About It,” and walks us through the ongoing battle with disinformation and its impact on global society.
