For this episode, we’re bringing you a fascinating discussion on a messy topic: Fake News. UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism hosted five experts in media and technology to parse what fake news is, the problems it creates, and who is responsible.

The panel is:
Laura Sydell, NPR's Digital Culture Correspondent
Adam Mosseri, VP of Facebook's Newsfeed
Craig Newmark, Internet entrepreneur and philanthopist
Catherine Crump, Co-Director of Berkeley Law's Technology and Public Policy Clinic
Jeffrey Mackie-Mason, Berkeley's University Librarian
