The Impact of Wikipedia on the Information Landscape

On this week's episode of the TechTank Podcast, co-host, Darrell West, dives into how

Wikipedia handles content moderation, disinformation, and bias. The site is a trusted source of

information for many people, but little is known about how it makes decisions and handles

controversies surrounding its material. Guests are Isabelle Langrock, a PhD candidate at the

Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, who is writing a

dissertation on Open Knowledge Production and Digital Access; and Kent Campbell, a

Strategist at Reputation X, a firm that researches Wikipedia references, talk pages, and historical

editing patterns.
