My presentation focuses on why we all need to pay more attention to the role of images when it comes to mis- and disinformation. My talk draws on new research from a collaborative project with First Draft on the role of mis- and disinformation images in the 2017 UK and French elections. I will highlight lessons learned about what journalists could look out for in terms of potentially problematic images (especially during elections) and will suggest ways forward for training as well.
