On April 18, the American Council on Germany and the German Consulate General New York hosted a discussion as part of the virtual series “Dealing with Disinformation.” Experts Dr. Walter J. Scheirer (author of A History of Fake Things on the Internet) and Dr. Heidi Tworek (author of News from Germany: The Competition to Control World Communications, 1900-1945) joined us to discuss the history of disinformation, the role of technology in its spread, and the future of fake news.
