@newslit.org1/ "If we can apply friction to the speed at which information, or more importantly #misinformation, spreads by just getting people to pause & wait 5 or 10 seconds before they share & actually think about it — that can make a world of difference." - Eric Jourgensen, who's presenting at #NewsLitCon!
