How can political campaigns fight back against disinformation?
A decade after The Victory Lab: The Secret Science of Winning Campaigns, which Politico called “Moneyball for politics,” journalist Sasha Issenberg returns to the cutting edge of political innovation to reveal how campaigns are navigating the era’s most pressing challenge: how to win in a world awash in lies.
The Lie Detectives presents a vivid snapshot of a political class trying to come to terms with an exploding social media landscape and using every weapon in its arsenal to counter the biggest threat it has ever faced to its way of doing business and winning power.
This event is part of Brooklyn Public Library’s Night in the Library: Out of Darkness
Out of Darkness will present different takes on facing hardship rather than evading it. Performances and conversations will challenge audiences to confront our difficult era with honesty and curiosity to actively understand our world without counterproductively retreating from it.
Featuring talks by Astra Taylor, Fred Moten, Philip Gourevitch, Sasha Issenberg, Alissa Quart, Nikhil Goyal, Chester Higgins Jr., and Sarah Lewis.
