It's a Friday AND there's a new @U2 album out? A perfect day! 😎
Two of our faculty members @JENDUCK and Christa Ballard Tooley wrote a thought-provoking op-ed for the @Tennessean on U2's musical teachings on peace 👏
What a great read for a Friday: https://t.co/rhUobtsN1G

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Professor @JENDUCK and @drscotthawley of @BelmontUniv and hearing about their wealth of experiences in media and communications, and artificial intelligence. A very warm welcome to Northern Ireland!
How trolls target us. @wiczipedia great article. Can’t wait to read your book. “…according to Jankowicz, women are censoring themselves online-or being silenced. ‘We think, we write, we edit our tweets ten times before we send them, and often we still decide not to send them.’”
New podcast episode alert! EVERY one of us is susceptible to online misinformation. Psychologist/Vanderbilt Assoc. Prof. @lkfazio breaks down how to avoid falling into the traps. Check out the full episode on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple podcasts! https://t.co/PcHDSkqngA
So proud of my cousins, featured in @sportsillustrated. Ben and Zach have such a beautiful story of brotherhood, baseball, and so much more. We all can learn so much from this incredible family that I’m lucky enough to call family:

New: How the West is breaking through Russia’s propaganda wall. An international resistance is exposing ordinary Russians to the truth of a brutal war: "People always find a way no matter what the jamming tactics are" https://t.co/ySDvAWMeXp
This is a riveting story by @IvanCNN capturing how ordinary Ukranians are supporting soldiers fighting the Russian Army. #Ukraine https://t.co/7jT6u2kdxd
From Lviv, Ukraine I just recorded this podcast with the remarkable @clarissaward in Kyiv. It’s a behind the scene look at what she has seen and experienced while covering this war and many others. https://t.co/cSiOUc2kGx
Last week we worked w/ @CraigSilverman@jeffykao & @propublica to share a highly sophisticated, Russian language #disinfo op. We focused on the Ukraine content, but typical of RU disinfo some of the content was, well . . . really positive?
A thread 1/6

So much to unpack in this full article, including this nugget: “…having a TV-production company run a country is not a good idea in peacetime, but in wartime, when information war is one of your goals, it’s a fabulous thing to have in place.” https://t.co/7XxzANpHMn
Bottom line: We're all on the frontlines of the information war whether we realize it or not. The propagandists are highly skilled & the information & manipulated videos they post look very real. Be mindful of your sources; be thankful for U.S. freedom of the press. Read deeply.
“World War III is a guerrilla information war with no division between military and civilian participation.” – Marshall McLuhan (1970). @propublica and @ClemsonUniv further prove the point with this report https://t.co/NuvHpQHHY3
So what can we all do in this disinformation war? @nato recently wrote, “A proper defense requires at the very least an awareness that a cognitive warfare campaign is underway. It requires the ability to observe and orient.”
