    Earlier this year, I conducted interviews with 50 journalists and other experts within/around the news media to explore the ethics of amplifying networked bigotry, identity-based harassment, and dis- and misinformation. Here is the final, 3-part report:

    This year I'll be writing a column for about the information ecology, guided by the question: ok, it's 2020, what now? The first article is an argument against nihilism & (personal) reflection on why information disorder is a mental health issue

    It's a pretty strange thing to say and sincerely mean: hi, everyone, writing this piece made me start crying in the middle of Kennedy airport, I'd love to share it with you. --But, such is 2020. Time to process & connect & figure out what we do next

    I’m so proud to be a part of the new online museum of hacker culture! The site is full of exciting info, teaching tools, and work by some of my favorite people *&* scholars. For my entry, I got to revisit the infamous hackers on steroids video -

    Disinfo nerds! As we close out 2019, let’s marvel at amazing women that are leading research, analysis, collaboration, investigations in the disinformation space. & I have often reflected on this privately, but now there’s a list to follow

    Hence, these questions speak to nothing less than a network crisis -- one that is so much bigger and deeper than our immediate problems. We HAVE our immediate problems because the reckoning that should have happened decades ago never did

    That's what makes shock over the current state of things so ...ahistorical, for one thing. This shit has been happening for 100+ years in exactly the same ways. More intensified now due to network/technological changes etc etc but a generationally-compounding problem

    And of course for some, this coverage can be helpful, but CAN is the strongest thing you can say. It just as easily normalizes & bolsters hate, providing bad actors all the manipulation fodder they could dream of-- which Klansmen knew in the 1920s and the late 1860s before that

    Belief that negative coverage will disinfect harmful action/people goes back generations- it backfired spectacularly in coverage of the 1st & 2nd Klans (eg see work by ), and does the same w/ populist demagogues now. Yet it remains for many an unshakable assumption

    Also, disinfo doesn’t target comfortable establishment types first, so they get to keep ignoring. In contrast, populations who are targeted first (& whose warnings go unheeded) understand the risks immediately, see . So this is a failure on many fronts

    Reflecting more broadly: the assumption that they SHOULD know better underestimates how institutional norms function as blinders-- both sides reporting, throwing facts at things, the marketplace of ideas etc all are assumed to be curative, when they actually lead us exactly here

    A nice breakdown of how wide-eyed claims of naivety are not acceptable explanations for how people who are paid money to know better, do not know better.

    And of course, many thanks to the kickass women I interviewed for the piece, who put themselves at risk every day to help sort through this hellscape. With an honorable mention to and , whose work in this space is critical. Listen to them.

    I'm excited to introduce some of the ideas central to the book I'm writing with , including the application of environmental justice framings to disinfo issues. I'm very grateful to the editorial team at CJR, with whom I exchanged so, so many drafts, for the platform.

    "We need to know why this is happening. The best defense against lies is the truth. Light disinfects." --People hold on to these ideals for lots of intuitive reasons. But they aren't enough to combat disinformation. Neither are facts. My piece here:

    Just like refusing to take a side --by being "neutral"-- is, in fact, taking a side

    yes, they tend to add to the harms because they are not affected by it but also don't know the nuances enough to tell the story effectively. It's circular in some ways and very problematic.

    The numbers on race are especially critical when disinfo is approached as an environmental justice issue, in which POC are disproportionately affected/poisoned. It really doesn't help when all the gatekeepers are overwhelmingly white & don't see those risks
