So I hosted a policy podcast episode called "Don't be a WebQoof" on the Policy School's Talk Policy to Me podcast, and it’s finally "dropped"! It highlights the urgent issue of digital misinformation and disinformation, given how information asymmetry has been a growing issue with so many major events unfolding worldwide this year. Spotlighting how The Quint's fact-checking team tackles it head-on, this might just be the first Indian story featured on the podcast, and I'm thrilled to have been part of it! A huge shoutout to the TPTM team for being such a fantastic group to work alongside, and to Abhilash Mallick, Abhishek Anand, and the entire Quint team for the amazing fact-checking work you do—and for sharing your stories! I’ve documented my biggest takeaways from this unique experience of policy podcasting in a short post here: https://lnkd.in/gnq3iuF3 You can listen to the podcast as you read. I'd love to know your thoughts and comments! . #policy #podcast #misinformation #disinformation #India #WebQoof
