Dear All, I am very thrilled to share with you that our work (Anushree Majumdar and I) with the Upgrade Democracy <https://www.bertelsmann-stiftung.de/en/our-projects/upgrade-democracy>project, looking at digital disinformation in 9 major election cycles in Asia, post the COVID19 pandemic management shifts in the region, has resulted into a new report titled The Making of Misinformation Choice. <https://www.bertelsmann-stiftung.de/en/publications/publication/did/the-making-of-misinformed-choice-die-wirkung-digitaler-technologien-in-wahlkaempfen-einblicke-aus-neun-laendern-asiens?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2x5A_mlihl7JrjnTPrwSRaJejsHcxJVSUBq3pwMq3p_eSxoz1Y5Uzmcds_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw> The report builds on critical policy and literature review, extensive interviews with fact-checkers, disinformation debunking activists, and civil society organisations in 9 regions and countries, to think about the ways in which new information regimes are established that persuade and convince people to make misinformed choices in electoral actions. The report produces a new framework of digital misinformation as a stack, looks at the ways in which information contamination and manipulation happens, examines the difficulties in doing fact-checking as individual actors, and looks at the best practices and counter-measures that are being tried and developed across the region. The report was a collaboration between The Digital Narratives Studio <https://digitalnarratives.com.cuhk.edu.hk/> and The Digital Asia Hub, <https://www.digitalasiahub.org/> with strong support from fellow BKCer Malavika Jayaram, who facilitated the project, and with generous support and resources by Cathleen Berger <https://cathleenberger.com/about/>(another BKC community node) from the Bertelsmann Stiftung. We hope that you enjoy reading the report and that it helps add to the critical discourse in the field. We would, of course, always be thrilled to have more conversations and connections on this.
