Campaign Legal Center (CLC) hosted the virtual event, “Defending Democracy in the Age of Misinformation,” on Jonathan Rauch’s new book, “The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth.”

During the course of his conversation with CLC's President Trevor Potter, Rauch, senior fellow, governance studies at the Brookings Institution, shared that while there is no silver bullet to completely stop the spread of misinformation that has had an impact on our democratic process, there are things we can do to incentivize truth and improve transparency around our information landscape.
