S1E06 - Emotional contagion, conspiracies & better personas

In this episode, we explain emotional contagion and how it affects the spread of information on social networks (and in the crisis room). We also discuss a simple 3-attribute framework for improving your scenario characters to prevent them from being bland. And what caught our eye were a number of reports from Facebook, Graphika & the BCI. Oh and Abbie Richards' infographic on conspiracy theories.
