Earlier this month https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/04/ukraine-protest-information-new-york (in The Guardian) newspaper, researcher and journalist http://www.janelytv.com/ (Jane Lytvynenko) wrote:  I report on internet disinformation. When Russia invaded Ukraine, it became very personal. There is more than one struggle. There is the war of bombs, the war that's taking lives. And then there's the battle over what can be done.Jane, who is presently a Senior Research Fellow on the Tech and Social Change Project at Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center, grew up in Kyiv. She moved to Canada at age eleven, but traveled back to visit her family and friends nearly every year, sometimes spending entire summers in Ukraine. Now– like nearly every Ukrainian, no matter how far from the land that is under assault in a brutal, illegal Russian invasion– she is part of the "battle over what can be done," a battle of ideas, emotion and the way they are combined into political will.   I caught up with Jane to get her take on what's happening in the information component of this war, including the role of the social media platforms and the news media in confronting disinformation, the role of myth making and the transmission of cultural information in this moment, and the role of citizen diplomacy. 

Sean Speer is the Editor-At-Large at The Hub, a Senior Fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, and previously served as Senior Advisor to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He and Elizabeth chat about political polarization and dig into the different theories of polarization including elite polarization and mass polarization, as well as ideological versus affective polarization. They discuss the idea of politics as a left-to-right spectrum, polarization causing artificial divides, the rise of populism, and the idea that polarization can be used as a tool for meaningful progress.Additional ResourcesInterested in learning more about political polarization from an academic perspective? This systematic review by Kubin & von Sikorski is a good place to start.Elizabeth mentions two past episodes of Wonks and War Rooms: this episode about issue ownership with Tiffany Gooch and this episode about the high-choice media environment with Jane Lytvynenko.Sean speaks about how Canadian campaign finance regimes might contribute to political polarization. This article gives a brief overview of how political parties are financed in Canada.  Sean and Elizabeth spend some time discussing the link between populism and polarization. This video shows what the rise of modern populism is all about.Check out www.polcommtech.ca for annotated transcripts of this episode in English and French.

Shock, surprises, and suffering are the most immediate results of all wars. Russia's brutal, yet deeply flawed invasion of Ukraine has profound implications for the West, global democracy, and the future of Europe and Russia. We hear the perspectives of two prominent thinkers, Jane Lytvynenko and Robert Kagen. Richard and Jim also share their analysis of the unexpected early outcomes of the war. This episode has extracts from an interview with Robert Kagan, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a contributing columnist for The Washington Post. He spoke with podcast producer and host Jenna Spinelle of "Democracy Works". We also share part of an interview from the current episode of "Democracy in Danger" with journalist Jane Lytvynenko, who covers technology, disinformation, and now, Ukraine. She was born in Kyiv. Jane is also a senior research fellow at Harvard University's Technology and Social Change Project at the Shorenstein Center. This podcast is produced with the generous help of the Democracy Group podcast network and the McCourtney Institute for Democracy at Penn State University. "I actually believe in the long run we will come out of this," says Robert Kagen. "Unfortunately, the long run may be longer than we want and we may be in this for 20 years.""Had the West stood up against the torture of protesters in Belarus, Russia would not have been able to put tanks there today," says Jane Lytvynenko. She argues for a more robust response by the West to attacks against democracy in other nations.Recommendation: Jim is reading “Mercury Rising.

Jane Lytvynenko hasn't slept much in two weeks. From her home in Toronto, she is watching Russian troops invade and bombard her native Ukraine, threatening loved ones and friends. And it's rattling her nerves. But through all that, Lytvynenko, a freelance journalist, remains hopeful. Siva speaks with her about the failures of world leaders to stand up to Vladimir Putin. Plus, we revisit a couple of interviews from last year that help add context to the conflict.Additional InformationDemocracy in Danger PodcastMore shows from The Democracy Group

Recode Media's Peter Kafka talks to three reporters about the realities of covering the war in Ukraine and sorting truth from disinformation -- from the ground, from afar, and online. In Ukraine: CNN's Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward discusses the challenges of war reporting in 2022, everything from planning food and exit routes to working with a remote team to analyze online videos. In DC: Puck co-founder and Washington correspondent Julia Ioffe talk about how hard it is to learn what Russians think about what's going on, and how long she expects the war to hold the American people's interest. Finally, Jane Lytvynenko, a senior research fellow at Harvard's Shorenstein Center, gives us a crash course on Russia's history of disinformation dissemination. She also tells us about Telegram, which essentially functions as “Eastern European Twitter."

Over the past week, Ukrainians have used social media to document Russia's attacks on civilians. Those efforts have been more effective at blunting the Russian propaganda machine than anything that has come out of the technology companies themselves. On this week's Kicker, Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of CJR, speaks with Jane Lytvynenko, a senior research fellow in the Technology and Social Change Project at the Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy. They discuss Ukrainian “prebunking” of Russian propaganda, and where Lytvynenko, a Ukranian-Canadian expert on Russian disinformation, gets her news.

This week on our Arbiters of Truth series on disinformation, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic spoke with Jane Lytvynenko, a senior reporter at BuzzFeed News who focuses on disinformation. If you use Twitter regularly and have looked at the platform during any major media events—disasters, protests, you name it—you've likely seen her enormous tweet threads where she debunks hoaxes and misinformation. Recently, she's turned her debunking skills toward misinformation and disinformation around the coronavirus pandemic, reporting on the various “fake experts” peddling misleading stories about the virus and the long half-life of the conspiratorial “Plandemic” video. She's also written on the rise of “disinformation for hire”—PR firms that turn to disinformation as a marketing tool. So what is it like to report on disinformation and misinformation in real time? How can journalists help readers understand and spot that bad information? And, is there any cause to be optimistic? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Whether it be blocking someone on Twitter, unfriending someone on Facebook, or just carefully choosing from which sources we get our news, selective avoidance is an everyday occurrence. They discuss topics like the role of emotion in selective avoidance, fragmented media environments, political polarization, and hyper engagement.Additional Resources:Elizabeth uses this article by Parmalee and colleagues to help define selective avoidance.Check out this article to learn more about the role of emotions can play in selective avoidance.Elizabeth mentions this previous episode about the High-Choice Media Environment with Jane Lytvynenko. 

Murad Hemmadi is a reporter for The Logic and this week he talks to Elizabeth about political information repertoires.

Disinformation has been with us for a long time and as social media emerged it has been using new tools to spread even faster. Some of those tools are well known: pictures out of context, deep fake, false information under the cloak of science. Analysts and scientists study their impact on our lives. What have they discovered so far? What role do memes play in spreading disinformation? Why did some Americans believe that the last presidential election had been rigged and what was the role of keyword squatting? In this episode of our podcast we host Jane Lytvynenko, a journalist specializing in disinformation and its impact on social change. She published, among others, at BuzzFeed.News. She is associated with The Media Manipulation Casebook - a research platform devoted to disinformation and its threats to democracy, public health and security. Host: Wiola Myszkowska

Dezinformacja towarzyszy nam nie od wczoraj - od czasu wzmożonego rozwoju Internetu i powstania mediów społecznościowych wykorzystuje nowe narzędzia, aby rozprzestrzeniać się jeszcze szybciej. Część z nich jest nam dobre znana: wycąganie zdjęć z kontekstu, deep fake, fałszywe informacje przekazywane pod brzmiącym naukowo płaszczykiem. Badaniem ich wpływu na naszą rzeczywistość zajmują się analitycy i naukowcy. Co do tej pory odkryli? Jaką rolę w szerzeniu dezinformacji odgrywają memy? Dlaczego część Amerykanów uwierzyła, że ostatnie wybory prezydenckie zostały sfałszowane i jaki w tym udział miał keyword squatting? W kolejnym odcinku naszego podcastu gościmy Jane Lytvynenko, dziennikarkę specjalizująca się w temacie dezinformacji i jej wpływu na zmiany społeczne. Publikowała w m.in. w BuzzFeed.News. Związana jest z The Media Manipulation Casebook - platformą badawczą poświęconą dezinformacji i zagrożeniom dla demokracji, zdrowia publicznego i bezpieczeństwa.

Big Tech Section 230 HearingsFirst to a story we flagged yesterday & Jack Dorsey left his wood cabin to join the meetings... the ceos of twitter, facebook & google have appeared at US Senate Committee hearing this morning. It was nominally about Section 230 a 1996 statute that grants internet platforms broad legal immunity for user-generated content while allowing them to moderate that content without fear of taking on liability. Wired reports, the hearing, however, was mostly an opportunity for Republicans on the committee to berate Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey for supposedly discriminating against conservative users—especially conservative user number one, Donald TrumpRepublicans continually mispronounced Sundar Pichai's name, the ceo of one of the US most valuable companies NyTimes "“Mr. Dorsey, who the hell elected you and put you in charge of what the media are allowed to report and what the American people are allowed to hear?” Senator Ted Cruz of Texas asked.Mr. Dorsey bore the brunt of questions, with Republicans asking him almost four dozen times about alleged “censorship” of conservative politicians and media outlets. He was asked 58 questions in total, more than the 49 for Mr. Zuckerberg and 22 for Mr. Pichai, according to the Times tally.Spotify Defends Joe Rogan...According to Jane Lytvynenko of Buzzfeed: In public, Spotify is staying quiet about an appearance by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones yesterday on its flagship podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, despite banning Jones' own podcast last year. But in an internal email sent from a top executive, the company is defending the booking.Horacio Gutierrez, the company's chief legal officer and head of global affairs, wrote to team managers on Oct. 28 about the episode of Joe Rogan's podcast that featured an interview with Jones and podcast host Tim Dillon.On his guest appearance, Jones played videos that had been banned from youtubeand Rogan said kids are "getting polio from taking vaccines" after Alex Jones spreads conspiracy that Bill Gates is trafficking vaccines that get 100% of people sick. He also denied climate change and spread disproven conspiracies about Joe BidenSpotify signed Joe Rogan for an exclusive $100m podcasting deal Gig Economy companies spend $200m on Prop 22Gig economy companies are campaigning hard against something called proposition 22 in the US. according to the wall street journal: Uber Technologies Inc., Lyft Inc. and DoorDash Inc. are spending tens of millions of dollars and flooding voters with messages in a neck-and-neck battle to preserve their current business model in California.Spending nearly $200 million to persuade voters to approve a ballot measure that would exempt them from a new state law requiring businesses to reclassify contract workers as employees. That amount, the most ever raised for a California ballot question, according to Ballotpedia, suggests how pivotal the vote will be for companies reliant on a labor model in which workers are summoned at the touch of an app.On the other side unions argue, companies have flourished on the backs of gig workers without providing them the protections that most employees receive. If voters reject the Proposition 22 measure, the companies would... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Elizabeth chats with Buzzfeed disinformation reporter Jane Lytvynenko about the high-choice media environment. In a tweet, Jane tells us the theory is basically information capitalism. They dig into the idea of having lots of choices both about the supply and demand for political information. From audience fragmentation to crisis communication, we question what the theory has to say about the way people access and share political information and news.Additional resources:Academic article by Van Aelst and colleagues: Political communication in a high-choice media environment: a challenge for democracy?.

The internet is full of it... wrong news and fake news... Jane Lytvynenko, a senior reporter with BuzzFeed News in Toronto, has been tracking the conspiracy theories, misinformation, and hoaxes related to the coronavirus. Cape Breton Current Affairs correspondent Brittany Wentzell asked Jane about her task.

Today is a special episode because the world is battling COVID-19 - a deadly strain of Coronavirus. After Ebola, this is the most closely watched global pandemic and social media has played a big part in spreading advice and misinformation. Because this topic is on a deadly global pandemic, we may be discussing subjects that might be distressing for some people, so take care when listening.  Joining host Bex on this completely remote podcast we have: Regular Hera Hussain, who is in self-isolation and is getting COVID-19 related news every second from her family who work in the NHS, which is driving her crazy.  We also have two fantastic guests: Jane Lytvynenko who is fighting the misinformation warfare on the frontlines for Buzzfeed and is joining us from Toronto, Canada, where the cases have increased and the government has announced border closures. Nathan Young, a Political Technologist and Newspeak House Fellow. He works in institutional decision making and co-founded CoronavirusTechHandbook.com Stat of the week: The ultimate crowdsourced coronavirus handbook. It has 23 editable sections, 100s of projects, 23 chat threads and has received 186k views in the last week. Charity news of the week:   Covid-19  Mutual aid - How to help the vulnerable near you South Korea's ‘Safety guidance texts’ sent by the authorities contain an avalanche of personal information  Tech news of the week:  ODI shares why governments around the world should be openly publishing the data and models that underpin their decision-making around Covid-19  Several of India's mobile networks are playing a 30-second information alert about coronavirus before the start of every phone call. Rant of the week: Hoaxes and disinformation Buzzfeed is keeping track of the fake news  Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Reddit, Twitter and YouTube have all partnered up to tackle the crisis.  Nice of the week: Wikimedia went to half-time work for all staff and contractors — 20 hours a week, but full time pay.

As the new coronavirus outbreak is continuing to spread, so is the misinformation around it. The fake news and conspiracy theories range from the virus being created by Bill Gates to it being caused by the 5G network. A lot of them are straight up racist. And there are real-life consequences as the misinformation is fuelling anti-Chinese racism around the world. Today on the show, Buzzfeed News’ disinformation reporter Jane Lytvynenko is taking us through the misinformation around the coronavirus and how she debunks it.

Buzzfeed News disinformation reporter Jane Lytvynenko and MobileSyrup reporter Shruti Shekar break down the new rules and regulations about your favourite social media sites. Also, instead of an Alberta election update, we celebrate Queen Bey. 

There’s a new currency in town (and no, we’re not talking about Bitcoin). We’re talking about attention. In this episode of IRL, Veronica Belmont and special guest Jane Lytvynenko explore all the ways your attention has become worth money on social media. Meet Hamlet the Piggy, an Instagram star who is helping her owner cope with epilepsy and also build a business; Lisette Calveiro, whose quest for fame online left her spending beyond her means; and media theorist Douglas Rushkoff, who discusses what’s behind the emerging attention economy. IRL is an original podcast from Mozilla. For more on the series go to irlpodcast.org. When does attention online turn into addiction online? Here’s a perspective from Mozilla’s Heather West. Imagine a world where social networks weren’t necessarily designed to capture your attention, but instead were built to benefit you and your community. Here are some thoughts by Katharina Nocun on what this would look like. And, here’s a piece by Nick Briz about how attention merchants online use your digital fingerprints to target you with content.
