PolitiFact Editor-in-Chief AngieHolan talked with the In Reality podcast about fact-checking, deep fakes, Chat GPT and the challenges of finding trusted information in the pandemic. Listen to the interview:
With Angie Drobnic Holan - Editor-in-chief of Poltifact and Nieman Fellow at Harvard UniversityMedia executive, CEO & business journalistAt one point in the post-truth era, fact-checking seemed like the way back to a shared reality. Just get evidence-based truth out there, and disinformation would slink away in disgrace. Snopes, Kinzen, Meedan and others are built on that belief. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way. Falsehood still seems to have the drop on truth.
So, today’s guest joins me to help us understand why. Angie Drobnic Holan is a journalist and long-time editor-in-chief of Poltifact, one of the world’s premier fact-checkers. She was also recently named a Nieman Fellow at Harvard to examine the role of journalism in democracy. Angie and I will cover the role of fact-checking in social media today; the case for and limits of objective truth; and the practice of fact-checking when evidence is evolving, as in the case of the origins of Covid-19.
