Team: Peter B. Kaufman, Ryan Merkley, Hal Plotkin
Who is missing:
As possible guests / members:
- Larry Kramer, President, Hewlett Foundation (perhaps we can time the third WG meeting at Hewlett with an invitation to him to visit with us!)
- Safiya Umoja Noble, author, Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism
- Jay Rosen, NYU - also for the journalism connection - https://journalism.nyu.edu/about-us/profile/jay-rosen/
- Charlie Nesson, Berkman Klein Center & Harvard Law
- Jelani Cobb, The New Yorker - https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/jelani-cobb

- Nancy MacLean, Duke University - author of Democracy in Chains

- Yochai Benkler, Harvard Law School - http://www.benkler.org/
Work products:
Perhaps:
- Case studies on massive untruths that correlate to university knowledge that could be made available to counter them
- White papers on the challenges this group can help address and some solutions
- Interviews with members/possible guests on video or audio or in text
- A kind of public commission down the road on the future of truth, akin to the Carnegie Commission launched in the wake of Newton Minow's 1961 "vaste wasteland" speech
