How is disinformation strategically disseminated online?
Lena Frischlich was interviewed by tagesschau presenter Constantin Schreiber for the DLM symposium 2021, “(Dis)information: Media and social networks in the super election year”. The interview addressed disinformation, the role of alternative news, and what to expect in view of this year’s German federal election in September.
