Fake news is good news. It’s a wakeup call to everyone to pay attention to the information revolution. The LSE Truth, Trust and Technology Commission has been working with technology companies, journalists, politicians and the public to work out what is going on and to find a way forward so we can save democracy from digital dystopia and put the citizen back in control. Professor Charlie Beckett, Director of the Commission, explains what the project is about and how you can get involved.

Join us next week on Tuesday 20th November for the launch of the LSE Truth, Trust and Technology Commission Report on fighting misinformation.
