Thanks Alice.
In Australia we've just opened a Senate committee hearing into the Future of Public Interest Journalism after the sacking of journalists in one of our major news organisations and the foreshadowed retrenchment of photographers in another: http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Future_of_ Public_Interest_Journalism/PublicInterestJournalism
I'll pass it on to them! John ________________________________________

Hi everyone!
I'm very pleased to announce a giant new report I wrote with Becca Lewis on "Media Manipulation and Disinformation Online."
You can find it here: https://datasociety.net/output/media-manipulation-and-disinfo-online/
In it, we talk about how far-right groups use a variety of techniques to spread and amplify their messaging through mainstream media. We talk about who these people are (trolls, white nationalists, men's rights activists); where they congregate online (the chans, various blogs and YouTube channels, Discord servers); the tactics and strategies they use (participatory culture, memes, radicalization); what motivates them (ideology, money, and status/fame), and some possible outcomes (misinformation, decreased trust in media, increased radicalization).
It is 100pp long including an extensive bibliography. The report is very detailed, but is written in an accessible style that should appeal to non-academics as well.
We've also released a syllabus (including assignments!) that you can use to incorporate the report into your classroom:

Would love to hear feedback and please feel free to share with friends, colleagues, and social media.
Warmly Alice
