Adam Fivenson

Adam Fivenson, a nonresident fellow at American University and expert on information integrity, joins Samantha Bradshaw, assistant professor and CSINT director focusing on misinformation. They discuss reframing the 'information war' as a matter of social transformation rather than military loss. The duo explores the effects of disinformation on democratic deliberation, the importance of evidence-based information, and the societal risks posed by low-integrity content. They also emphasize innovative strategies for rebuilding trust through community-based journalism and engaging new media platforms.
