How do we combat disinformation from violent extremists and terrorists in today’s media? We asked Navy veteran, journalist and co-founder of Military Veterans in Journalism, Zack Baddorf.  He was a Navy journalist who worked on countering recruitment campaigns for groups like ISIS, and the Taliban.

This year MVJ is seeking veterans for investigative reporter positions that will uncover dangerous disinformation campaigns in American media.

We also discuss how Russian disinformation has had devastating effects and how domestic extremist groups are actively trying to recruit active military and veterans for violence here at home.
