Prince Harry Joins The Aspen Institute As A Commissioner, Fight Against Misinformation

Prince Harry is joining the Aspen Institute’s new Commission on Information Disorder as a commissioner. Harry and his wife Meghan explained their decision to step back from senior roles in the British royal family and leveled criticism of the British press. His own personal experiences with the media are likely to inform his contributions to the commission. Some tabloid media in Britain have vilified the couple too much that Harry thinks it is important for him to make a change.

His role with the Aspen commission is part-time. It will involve regular meetings, according to the institute. The commission is funded by Craig Newmark Philanthropies. The commission is striving to have a “diversity of viewpoints” and roles.
“As I’ve said, the experience of today’s digital world has us inundated with an avalanche of misinformation, affecting our ability as individuals as well as societies to think clearly and truly understand the world we live in,” the Duke of Sussex said in a statement.

One week after the interview, Harry announced several donations by their Archewell Foundation, including to news media start-ups. Furthermore, Harry also announced his new job as a tech exec for the Silicon Valley start-up BetterUp.

Harry, 14 other commissioners, and three co-chairs will conduct a six-month study on the state of American misinformation and disinformation. The commission will begin to meet in April and will hold a series of briefings with outside experts.
