The Compass Series: Tackling Misinformation with Lori Robertson

The Compass Series: Navigating Our Complex State of Affairs is a short mini-series exploring the critical topics at the intersection of science, policy, and human behavior.   

In Episode 3: Tackling Misinformation, we discuss the critical role of fact-checking in our media ecosystem with Lori Robertson, Director of the nonpartisan, nonprofit FactCheck.org. In this interview with Lori, we talk about monitoring the factual accuracy of statements made by politicians, determining fact from fiction, and how we can all do a better job of thinking before sharing.
