Why We Invested
The Social Media and Political Participation (SMaPP) Lab is an independent research consortium that will examine how mis/disinformation was spread on social media platforms around the 2018 election. This cohort will support additional capacity within the field to better consider potential recommendations and new lines of inquiry.
Democracy Fund is proud to support the SMaPP Lab as it forges an interdisciplinary collaboration that examines the intersection of social media and politics.
