Tom Nichols with Angie Coiro: The Death of Expertise
Wednesday, May 24, 2017

Award-winning journalist Angie Coiro sits down with Tom Nichols, an acclaimed professor of National Security Affairs at the US Naval War College about the dangers of fake news and the instantaneity of information.
Websites like Wikipedia and WebMD have made arm-chair experts and living-room doctors out of all of us. Shows like Serial and Making a Murderer have created a bureau of internet sleuths and Reddit detectives. Fake news is just the next logical step. Join Nichols as he discusses his new book "The Death of Expertise" and brings to light the real danger that amateur experts can bring.
Nichols is also the author of several works on foreign policy and international security affairs, including The Sacred Cause, No Use: Nuclear Weapons and U.S. National Security, Eve of Destruction: The Coming Age of Preventive War, and The Russian Presidency.
