#160 Christopher Paul and Mike Williams of the Journal of Cognitive Security

<p dir="ltr">The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association.</p> <p dir="ltr">During this episode, Christopher Paul and Mike Williams discuss the new Journal of Cognitive Security–a double-blind peer reviewed publication concerned with influence and protection from influence of large groups of media users and consumers both online and offline. Cognitive Security focuses on (1) the exploitation of cognitive biases in large public groups, (2) social influence as an end unto itself and (3) formality and quantitative measurement.</p> <p dir="ltr">The Journal of Cognitive Security will address the impact of the increasing volume and variability of information available to anyone with a handheld device, the speed with which information is replicated, spread, and processed to anyone with the means to access the internet-protocol driven world and the ubiquity of handheld telecommunications and the resulting interactions of those pressures on societal change.</p> <p dir="ltr">Resources:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Cognitive Crucible Podcast Episodes Mentioned</p> </li> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="2"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://information-professionals.org/episode/cognitive-crucible-episode-20"> #20 Christopher Paul on the Firehose of Falsehood</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="2"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://information-professionals.org/episode/cognitive-crucible-episode-128"> #128 Matt Armstrong and Christopher Paul on the U.S. Information Agency and Foreign Policy</a></p> </li> </ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://cogsecjournal.com/">Website: Journal of Cognitive Security</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr"
