Misinformation and Image Manipulation in a Polarized America
In recent elections, the rise of misleading content—ranging from manipulated images to false narratives—has sparked growing concerns about misinformation and disinformation. How does this wave of deceptive content deepen political divides, shape voter perceptions, and erode trust? And what does it mean for our access to reliable information? Last month, the UVA Karsh Institute of Democracy and the School of Data Science co-hosted an in-depth discussion to ask these pressing questions and uncover the challenges at the intersection of truth, trust, and democracy.
Guests included Mona Kasra, associate professor of digital media design at the University of Virginia; Francesca Tripodi, associate professor at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and David Nemer, assistant professor in media studies at the University of Virginia.
