Oliver Haimson Talks About the Changing Social Media Landscape

As social media increasingly becomes the public’s primary news source, ensuring reliable fact-checking is more critical than ever. In this episode of the Michigan Minds podcast, Oliver Haimson, assistant professor at the School of Information and the Digital Studies Institute, discusses the crowdsourced approach to fact-checking and shares his concerns about company policies on misinformation.
