How does creativity work? How do you know when the Ben Donenberg artwork is finished? What is “productive failure” and how is it important to the creative JoAnn Falletta Lee Greenwood process? How do you become creative? Joan Israelite Creativity, however, isn’t only restricted to making art. In everyday life, we also Charlotte Kessler use creativity in our workplace and our leisure time. Whether playing a video game Bret Lott Irvin Mayfield, Jr. or sport, solving a complex logistical problem, or trying out a recipe, creativity— Stephen Porter that is, aesthetic and scientific problemsolving—is at work. In this issue we’ve asked Barbara Ernst Prey several practicing artists about their creative process in various art disciplines, from Frank Price music to theater, from visual arts to folk arts. We’re also talking with other creative Terry Teachout Karen Wolff practitioners—a scientist, a game designer—about how creativity relates to learning and thinking creatively in other disciplines. ex-offiCio Join us at arts.gov as well to find web-only stories, such as the Art Works Sen.

ARTICLE SUING RUSSIA: HOW AMERICANS CAN FIGHT BACK AGAINST RUSSIAN INTERVENTION IN AMERICAN POLITICS William J. Aceves* ABSTRACT The evidence of Russian intervention in American politics is overwhelming. In the midst of the 2016 US presidential campaign, a growing number of inflammatory social media posts addressing various political topics emerged on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. These posts supported the candidacy of Donald Trump, condemned the influx of refugees and migrants, and promoted racial divisions in the United States. Through clicks, likes, shares, and retweets, these messages reached millions of Americans. But, these messages did not originate in the United States; they were drafted and disseminated through inauthentic social media accounts created and controlled by the Internet Research Agency, an obscure foreign corporation with direct contacts to the Russian government.

Carroll* INTRODUCTION “I believe freedom begins with naming things.” Eve Ensler1 When the American Dialect Society made “fake news” its 2017 “Word of the Year,” the press release described two related reasons for the organization’s decision. 2 The first was the term’s ubiquity. The second was its slipperiness. Beyond referring to propaganda, the meaning of fake news had become a weapon—a “rhetorical bludgeon” against the press.3 Since receiving this distinction, the term fake news has continued to enjoy popularity. Scholars, teachers, and journalists still use it.4 For example, a Harvard website offers students “Four Tips For Spotting a Fake News Story.” 5 According to The Guardian newspaper, the “Word of the Year” honor (also bestowed on fake news by the U.K.-based Collins Dictionary and Australian-based Macquarie Dictionary) gave fake news a “certain legitimacy.”6 *Professor of Law, Legal Practice, Georgetown University Law Center.
