Light in Darkness: Variety and Rolling Stone’s Truth Seekers Summit Tackles Disinformation With E. Jean Carroll, CNN’s Abby Phillip and Alex Gibney


Variety and Rolling Stone will explore how media is navigating the disinformation age during the fourth annual Truth Seekers Summit in New York.

CNN anchor and senior political correspondent Abby Phillip, Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney and Susan Zirinsky, president of CBS News’ See It Now Studios, are among the luminaries who will attend the Aug. 15 invitation-only summit in Manhattan. On the lighter side, “The Daily Show” contributor Lewis Black will join comedians Amber Ruffin, Charlamagne Tha God and Alex Edelman on the “Best Mashup” panel about politics, humor and pop culture. Brian Knappenberger, who recently directed Netflix’s “Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War” docuseries and will participate in the summit’s “True Crime Masters Tell All” panel, says that the shift in information technology in the last decade has led us into “a chaotic world of misinformation.”
