More than 80 percent of accounts that repeatedly spread misinformation during the 2016 election campaign are still active, and they continue to publish more than one million tweets on a typical day, according to a study commissioned by The Knight Foundation released this week.
PKPR secured coverage in more than 30 major outlets including NPR, New York Post, Politico, Newsweek, The Daily Beast, Axios, Adweek, and TechCrunch
PKPR partnered with the Knight Foundation to elevate its role as a leading voice and funder at the intersection of media innovation, digital democracy, and the fight against misinformation.
We developed strategic communications campaigns that translated complex research into compelling, accessible narratives for mainstream audiences. A signature moment came with Knight’s groundbreaking research on election misinformation on Twitter, which sparked national dialogue and secured in-depth coverage in NPR, Politico, Axios, New York Post, and The Daily Beast. The partnership has helped establish Knight as a go-to source for journalists covering technology, media, and civic engagement, while amplifying the visibility and impact of its grantmaking.
