Messengers and Messages: Demystifying Misinformation in the Modern Age

Dr. Dominic Balog-Way and Dr. Katherine McComas of Cornell University join Sandra Alday for a compelling episode on their paper titled "Unpacking the Risk of Misinformation: A Communication-Based Critique" published in Risk Analysis. The risk researchers, who first connected at the 2011 SRA Conference and are now close coworkers, have examined the ways people try to place agency and intent on messaging in order to make sense of communication.
