Thomas Rid, a political scientist and professor of strategic studies at Johns Hopkins University, discusses the history of disinformation with Aspen Digital's Director for Cyber Initiatives Garrett Graff. Rid's book, Active Measures: The Secret History of Disinformation and Political Warfare, examines Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election in the US.
This session is part of a series of expert briefings on mis and disinformation hosted by the Aspen Institute in tandem with our Commission on Information Disorder to help make sense of the various facets of the information crisis. They are designed as a resource for the commissioners and the broader public.
