"We're in Trouble:" The 2024 Election and the Rise of Disinformation


Listen Later

In this special election episode of extremely, Oren Segal and Jessica Reaves sit down with not one but two (!!) dis/misinformation experts. Dr. Claire Wardle is an associate professor in the Department of Communication at Cornell University, specializing in user-generated content and misinformation, and Liz Landers is a national correspondent leading the disinformation desk at Scripps News, covering the impact of artificial intelligence, deepfake images and disinformation.
Wardle and Landers tell us why this campaign is the worst on record for dis- and misinformation, what they’re most worried about and how things might play out on Election Day (and the days after), from threats targeting election workers to assaults on our democracy.
