In the wake of a tense presidential election and an accompanying wave of misinformation, we're re-releasing this interview with misinformation expert and First Draft News co-founder Claire Wardle (originally published May 2, 2020). Claire discusses how misinformation spreads, why it's so powerful, and how journalists can leverage storytelling techniques to turn the tide.
