DMA Politics Podcast: Damian Collins MP, John Nicolson MP & Liam Harrington on COVID-19: infotagion

Описание: In spite of being in (splendid) isolation, Michael Sturrock is back with three special guests, all recording from their homes across the country.

We hear from senior Conservative backbencher and former Chair of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Damian Collins MP; founder of Iconic Labs and co-founder of one of the world's most visited Facebook pages, Unilad, Liam Harrington; and SNP Shadow Secretary for DCMS and renowned journalist and Broadcaster, John Nicolson MP.

As well as discussing infotagion, the new fact-checking service designed to tackle the wave of misinformation that has grown out of the coronavirus pandemic co-founded by Damian and Liam and supported by John, they discuss:

Was parliament too slow in responding to Coronavirus?
When the science around coronavirus keeps changing, is that having an effect on misinformation?
Why do people keep sharing 'I heard from a friend of a friend...' stories about coronavirus?
How does the mainstream media weed out misinformation?
How do we deal with our allies, neighbours and enemies who use misinformation as a weapon?
How will infotagion combat the coronavirus misinformation pandemic?


All three guests are on Twitter: @DamianCollins, @MrJohnNicolson and @LiamFHarrington. Go to infotagion.com or @infotagion to find out more.
