The World’s Marco Werman checks in with Yasodara Córdova, who is a senior fellow researcher at the Digital Kennedy School and works at the First Draft project at Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy. Córdova is also involved with project Comprova, an initiative aimed at fighting disinformation around Brazilian elections.
