The term “Fake News” is used daily in media referring to unreliable news, untrustworthy reporting or simply to discredit sources of information and is thus undermining trust in media. Alexander Sängerlaub, Project Director of Misinformation in Digital Media (Stiftung Neue Verantwortung) will shed light onto the question: What exactly are “Fake News”? Exploring the terminology in a transnational framework, a panel of invited guests from both Germany and the U.S. will discuss how we can reduce the growth of echo chambers, refocus on a consensus on truth, and mitigate the rapid spread of misinformation.
