Abstract

In this dialogue, Phillip Howard introduces “computational propaganda” as an emerging communication tool in political communication and a perspective for investigating misinformation and disinformation. By articulating the concepts, patterns, and mechanisms of computational propaganda, Howard proposes a socio-technical framework for studying computational propaganda. He calls for mixed methods to undertake computational research alongside qualitative investigation, thus addressing the computational as well as the political. Howard emphasizes the battle against algorithm bias, manipulation, and misinformation, and he advocates building an International Panel on the Information Environment (IPIE), an international scientific collaboration, to respond to the challenges. In addition, Howard offers advice on further research in computational propaganda.

计算宣传:概念、方法和挑战

在这场对话中，菲利普·霍华德介绍了“计算宣传”，它是政治传播中一种新兴的传播工具，也是调查错误信息和虚假信息的一种视角。通过阐明计算宣传的概念、模式和机制，霍华德提出了一个研究计算宣传的社会技术框架。他呼吁在进行定性调查的同时，采用混合方法进行计算研究，从而解决计算和政治问题。霍华德强调要与算法偏见、操纵和错误信息作斗争，他主张建立一个国际信息环境小组（IPIE），一个国际科学合作组织，以应对这些挑战。此外，霍华德还为进一步研究计算宣传提供了建议。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
