How to Win the War on Truth
Social media once promised to bring users together in the digital space, but instead, it’s been used to spread disinformation, sow division, and radicalize impressionable minds in an increasingly insulated media environment. Media literacy author Samuel C. Spitale discusses how we got here, who benefits from the discord, and how to recognize media messages designed to divide and deceive.
