From: Kennan Institute <kennan@e.wilsoncenter.org>Subject: Reminder: WEBCAST: Disinformation Amid the Coronavirus PandemicDate: April 6, 2020 at 2:30:26 PM EDTTo: Michael McDonald <michael.d.mcdonald@mac.com>Reply-To: kennan@e.wilsoncenter.org
As the coronavirus has spread globally, so has disinformation and censorship by authoritarian governments. Both Russia and China have attempted to spread false information about the genesis of the virus and China has clamped down internally on information surrounding the pandemic, silencing both domestic reporters and whistleblowers. Yet even democracies are not immune: Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been condemned by social media sites and members of his own government for spreading disinformation on social distancing measures recommended by public health authorities.
STIP Disinformation Fellow Nina Jankowicz, Kissinger Institute Associate Rui Zhong, and Brazil Institute Senior Associate Anya Prusa will discuss disinformation surrounding the coronavirus and the U.S. response.
