Marianna Spring: Adventures in Conspiracyland

The BBC’s first disinformation and social media correspondent, Marianna Spring talks to Festival Director Jenny Niven about her observations from the frontline of the battle for control of the online information landscape. Whether reporting on conspiracy theorists, trolls, or state actors, Spring’s journalism is urgent and contemporary, and with her new book, Among the Trolls, she gives a first-hand account of the humans who inhabit Conspiracyland.

Please note Marianna Spring will now be appearing remotely.
