In the first episode of Dis/Mis, Debs is joined by Impress CEO Lexie Kirkconnell-Kawana and Natalie Fenton, a media and communications lecturer at Goldsmiths University.

This week, we examine the beginnings of misinformation. Did it really emerge with the advent of the internet and technological advances, or has it been an issue throughout human history?

Debs, Lexie and Natalie also discuss the link between trust in democracy and trust in the media, solutions to misinformation and the organisations already leading the way.
