Beyond Brexit, the elections & false news: Implications of the changing information ecosphere for health promotion, policy & advocacy

BMSG Director Lori Dorfman moderates “Beyond Brexit, the Elections & False News: Implications of the Changing Information Ecosphere for Health Promotion, Policy & Advocacy,” a panel discussion held in May 2017 at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The panel was organized by David Jernigan, an associate professor in the Department of Health, Behavior and Society and features the Center for Digital Democracy’s Jeff Chester, who investigates how marketers collect and use our data; Daniel Kreiss, who has been exploring how social media systems influence political debates; Jonathan Albright, who has extensively researched the influence of fake news; and American University’s Kathryn Montgomery, who studies the promises — and pitfalls — of using wearable devices to collect individual consumers’ health data.
