We invite members of the news media, policy makers, foundations, and civic groups to a closed meeting in Washington, DC. This briefing -- a Disinformation Week <https://contribute.ndi.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=24928&qid=1990944> event -- will help ground a group conversation about the prospects for improving deliberative democracy and include a first look at the most recent research findings from a series of country specific case studies. The launch will include an executive summary by the lead investigators, comments by specific case study authors, and an open Q&A session with attendees, moderated by NDI. This case studies series focuses on the spread of computational propaganda in nine countries, including several with recent or upcoming elections: Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Poland, Russia, Taiwan, Ukraine, and the United States. Each case study involves an investigation of digital misinformation in domestic politics, with particular attention to the role of automated and algorithmic manipulation. We will present a summary of the findings from one or two country cases, and offer some conclusions on the impact of these trends on public life.
