Dr Alicia Wanless: Why the information environment matters and how can it be understood?
As societies continue to grapple with myriad issues related to the information environment – from the introduction of new technology to the spread of disinformation – a key component in getting ahead of problems is missing: an understanding of how the information environment works.
Alicia Wanless is the director of the Information Environment Project at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which aims to foster evidence-based policymaking for the governance of the information environment.
