There is now a 125-page report available, An Anatomy of Fake News - History, Populism, Partisanship, Technology and Solutions, a product of last year’s 2018 Breux Symposium on fake news sponsored by GW’s Graduate School of Political Management (GSPM) and the Reilly Center for Media & Public Affairs at the Louisiana State University Manship School of Mass Communications (LSU).
Last year’s event brought together scholars and news experts in the nation’s capital at GW for a detailed discussion of the pervasive problem of fake news, by focusing on:
- The historical antecedents;
- Anti-establishment populism;
- The role of political parties and mediating institutions;
- Technological enablement and amelioration; and
- Solutions to these pressing issues.
The annual Breaux Symposium was established in 2000 as a core program of the Reilly Center for Media & Public Affairs, LSU. The goal of the Breaux Symposium is to push the boundaries of debate around an aspect of media, politics and public policy.
