October 22, 4:00 pm ET#SPJTruth Day: Disinformation during a heated presidential campaign Social media is swarming with sophisticated disinformation campaigns and manipulated media that can snare even the most tech-savvy journalists. Groups and individuals frequently set traps for journalists, exploiting the algorithms designed to give social media users the platform experiences they've come to enjoy. With one of the most heated and divisive presidential campaigns still underway, the Society of Professional Journalists is hosting a free webinar via Zoom featuring a leading expert on online extremism, media manipulation and disinformation campaigns. 


October 22, 5:00 pm ET#SPJTruth Day: 'Selling Lies' free screening and director interview Screening of the documentary 'Selling Lies,' an explosive new film by Academy Award-Nominated Director Leslie Iwerks, followed by a Q&A with Iwerks and Rebecca Aguilar, SPJ president-elect.  

In 2016, an army of teenagers in Macedonia discovered a wildly lucrative game of posting false political clickbait news articles on Facebook for profit. By creating websites leading up to the presidential election that published sensationalized and misleading news stories about American politics, they generated a massive income and influenced the election. Selling Lies offers a rare glimpse inside the secret network behind these websites, including one notorious ringleader whose social media reach had vast implications on American readers, and explores how disinformation campaigns are continuing to strongly impact the U.S. today leading into the 2020 presidential election.
