Thank you to @kellyruthk.bsky.social for inviting me to speak about misinfo reporting with her class @cuny.edu’s Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism last night! I really enjoyed answering all of her students’ stellar questions.

Thank you to JEF Latvia for inviting me to speak about misinformation and media literacy at the Mediawise conference in Riga last week! It was a joy to meet so many passionate young folks and learn all about Latvia.
