Curbing the Spread of Misinformation: Insights, Innovations, and Interpretations from the Misinformation Solutions Forum

The Misinformation Solutions Forum, held in October 2018, brought together academic researchers, technology professionals, data scientists, journalists, educators, community leaders, funders, and a set of graduate student fellows to explore promising ideas for curbing the spread of misinformation. The forum papers collected in the proceedings seek interventions focused on reducing behaviors that lead to the spread of misinformation or encouraging behaviors that can lead to the minimization of its influence.

The forum was held in Washington, DC, at the Aspen Institute and was co-sponsored by RTI International, the Rita Allen Foundation, Craig Newmark Philanthropies, Democracy Fund, and Burroughs Wellcome Fund.
