In this episode of Data Brilliant, Joe DosSantos speaks with Joel Finkelstein, Co-Founder and Director of the Network Contagion Research Institute to further explore the need to tackle the rise of misinformation across society.

Talking to the dangerous impact misinformation can – and has - had around the world, Joe and Joel discuss how NCRI is using data to track and expose this epidemic of virtual deception. Throughout the discussion, they also stress the need to create a data-literate world, so everyone can have access to the tools that will help them improve their critical thinking skills, question and challenge the information they’re given. As they explain, this ultimately needs to start in schools so that everyone growing up today has the ability to make sense of online manipulation to encourage and drive transparency and trust.
