“Voicing concern about an "avalanche of misinformation" in the digital world, #PrinceHarry is joining the Aspen Institute's new Commission on Information Disorder as a commissioner. Harry, 14 other commissioners & 3 co-chairs will conduct a 6-month study” cnn.com/2021/03/24/med…
“Journo Katie Couric,Color of Change pres Rashad Robinson & Chris Krebs, the former dir of the US Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency,are the co-chairs. "This info crisis undermines confidence in our democratic institutions & strikes right at the foundation of society”
“That's what Aspen,a leading nonprofit,wants to examine.The institute announced its Commission on Info Disorder in Jan w/ a mandate to develop "actionable public-private responses." The commission will begin to meet in April & will hold a series of briefings with outside experts”
“Aspen's plan calls for an interim report after about 60 days "that surveys and frames the information disorder problem, and prioritizes the most critical and urgent issues," according to the institute, and then a list of actionable solutions and recommendations in the fall.”
“The list of commissioners, released Wed morning, includes prominent figures like former Texas congressman Will Hurd; Sue Gordon, the former principal deputy director of nat’l intelligence; & Kathryn Murdoch, the co-founder & president of Quadrivium & daughter-in-law of Rupert.”
“But surely the most notable name is #PrinceHarry, who has been in the public eye in recent weeks thanks to his interview w/ Oprah Winfrey...His own personal experiences w/ the media—particularly w/ lies & nonsense spread about his own life—are likely to inform his contributions”
“"As I've said, the experience of today's digital world has us inundated with an avalanche of misinformation, affecting our ability as individuals as well as societies to think clearly and truly understand the world we live in," the #DukeOfSussex said in a statement.”
“"It's my belief that this is a humanitarian issue," he said, "and as such, it demands a multi-stakeholder response from advocacy voices, members of the media, academic researchers, and both government and civil society leaders.”
“I'm eager to join this new Aspen commission and look forward to working on a solution-oriented approach to the information disorder crisis."
“The institute's press release on Wednesday identified #PrinceHarry as one of three philanthropic leaders that will be a part of the project. The other two are Murdoch — who is married to Rupert Murdoch's son James — and Marla Blow, incoming president of the Skoll Foundation.”
“#HarryandMeghanonOprah Meghan announced several donations by their #Archewell Foundation, incl to news media startups...His role w/ the Aspen commission is part-time. It’ll involve regular mtgs, according to the institute.The commission is funded by Craig Newmark Philanthropies”
