The University of Florida announced Monday that alumni Linda and Ken McGurn have pledged $2 million to create the McGurn Fellowship Program for Media Integrity and the Fight Against Disinformation. It will be used to recruit and pay expert lecturers and professors to research and teach the origins and solutions for public disinformation, aiming to boost trust in modern media, society and government, said Dean Laura Rosenbury of the law college. Eventually, she said, the collaboration hopes to produce policy recommendations for newsrooms and legislatures to maximize faith and the dissemination of accurate information. "We've seen over the last three of four years how disinformation has eroded trust," Rosenbury said. "We have to tackle disinformation head on, and the McGurns' generous donation will help us do so immediately."
