A release on STRATCOMCOE's website has announced the "fake news challenge hackathon" with up to 30 places available for people with bright ideas about how to identify and counter fake news.
"The aim of this hackathon is to become a place where [the] technology industry and media’s top thinkers seek new ways to preserve the trustworthiness of online media," STRATCOMCOE says.
