Jennifer Grygiel, assistant professor of communications in the Newhouse School, was quoted in the Rolling Stone story “” The article gives recommendations for readers on how to avoid fake news and misinformation amid national protests. Professor Grygiel, an expert on social media and disinformation, says that “when the country’s on edge and there’s a lot happening, anything that is unusual or will grab attention will go viral very quickly,” and “unfortunately untrue stories can be even more out-there and outlandish and concerning and can go viral faster than the truth.”
