    à Amsterdam, les 6 au 10 mars 2017

    The Public Data Lab in collaboration with the Digital Methods Initiative is holding a data sprint on fake news in the age of social media. The sprint consists of hands-on work to research the making, circulation, responses and controversies associated with fake news, together with a day of talks by prominent researchers in the area. The data sprint is part of a Public Data Lab project to develop a field guide to fake news in US and European politics. Research developed during this sprint will contribute towards the field guide, as well as an edited volume on the topic.

    The Fake News Data Sprint is pleased to have Jayson Harsin (The American University of Paris) give the opening keynote. His work over the past ten years addresses “central questions of truth, belief, attention and control, especially the strategic role of rumor in contemporary political practices on a global plane revolutionized by historically recent digital communication technologies.

    He is author ( among other works) of “The Rumour Bomb: Theorising the Convergence of New and Old Trends in Mediated US Politics” and “Diffusing the Rumor Bomb: ‘John Kerry Is French’ (ie, Haughty, Foppish, Elitist, Socialist, Cowardly, and Gay)”. He is joined as speaker by Marc Tuters (University of Amsterdam), Ida Eklund-Lindwall (East Stratcom Task Force) and Richard Rogers (University of Amsterdam). Additionally, attendees are invited on Wednesday afternoon to the talk by Elizabeth Losh, “I Did Not Have Text with that Server: Gender, Technology, and Digital Literacy in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Campaign.
