Vox’s Danush Parvaneh pulls together recent reporting on how Russian trolls weaponized social media and interviews Darrell West of the Center for Technology Innovation, Brookings Institution to present a picture of the dynamics of the disinformation campaign. More on the Russian troll factory: here.
Since our platform is about expressing ideas and ideals instead of cash flow, clicks, or fundraising, we have the freedom to include a wide range of topics and formats that might not work elsewhere. We don’t need or want paid content, promotional materials, or story lines designed to please donors.
So the idea here is to present videos one or more of the editors feel speaks to them. Sometimes it will be news. Sometimes it will be history. And a lot of the time it will be culture. You can not and should not separate these things: it is diversity and intersectionality that makes our movement strong.
