Mozilla Festival 2021 (March 8th – 19th, 2021)

Credibility Coalition, Part II: Projects | Mar 17 @ 21:15 CET

In this lightning talks session, three CredCo participants will provide an overview of their work related to credibility, misinformation and news verification.


What is the goal and/or outcome of your session?:

The goal of these sessions is to provide an update on credibility- and misinfo-related projects and initiatives carried out by CredCo members, and also to generate new collaborations with relevant MozFest attendees.

We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:

Session participants will be encouraged to join CredCo Slack and participate in weekly CredCo meetups. These meetups alternate between N America and South Asia time zones, to ensure people from all over the world can participate.

How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:

Each session will feature an experienced CredCo moderator who will guide discussion, and who will moderate Q&A's, using Zoom chat, from the audience.
