Notes

Busari's reporting on the Chibok girls kidnapping by Boko Haram (2014) and her subsequent documentation of fake news narratives surrounding the crisis exemplifies journalism in high-disinformation environments. Her TED talk emphasizes both the strategic deployment of hoax narratives by state and non-state actors and the individual responsibility of digital media consumers.
