Acclaimed Journalist to Address Disinformation at Key Biscayne Event

National security expert JJ Green is set to visit Key Biscayne next Tuesday to discuss the growing threat of digital misinformation and share insights from his new book on navigating today’s complex information landscape.

Green, an award-winning correspondent for Washington D.C.’s WTOP-FM and contributor to WJLA-TV ABC News, will present his latest work, “The Noise War: How to Find the Truth When Everything Is Lying to You,” at the Key Biscayne Community Center on March 10.

Drawing on over three decades of experience covering international security, military affairs and U.S. politics, Green’s book tackles one of the most pressing challenges facing modern society: the proliferation of false information in the digital age. His reporting from conflict zones and within high-level government circles provides a unique foundation for understanding how information warfare operates in the 21st century.

“The Noise War” examines how advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence capable of creating convincing deepfakes and sophisticated online manipulation campaigns, are fundamentally altering public perception of reality. The timing of Green’s work is particularly relevant amid growing concerns about foreign interference in elections, the role of social media in spreading conspiracies, and the challenges of maintaining a shared understanding of facts in polarized political environments.

Unlike many academic treatments of the subject, Green has structured his book as a practical “field manual” accessible to a wide audience. The work provides concrete strategies for evaluating information sources, recognizing emotional manipulation techniques, and responsibly engaging with questionable content without inadvertently amplifying falsehoods.

The book arrives as media literacy has become an increasingly urgent priority across educational institutions, government agencies, and civil society organizations. Recent studies have shown that significant percentages of Americans struggle to distinguish between factual reporting and opinion content, while the rapid advancement of AI tools has made it easier than ever to create convincing but entirely fabricated text, images and videos.

Green’s expertise comes at a critical moment when the information landscape continues to fragment, with traditional journalistic gatekeepers losing influence while social media algorithms often prioritize engagement over accuracy. His work addresses how these structural changes in media consumption patterns have created vulnerabilities that both domestic and foreign actors can exploit.

The free public event will begin with a wine and cheese reception at 6:30 p.m., followed by Green’s presentation at 7 p.m. in the Lighthouse Room at the Key Biscayne Community Center. The format is expected to include both a discussion of the book’s key findings and practical advice for attendees on how to become more discerning consumers of information.

Community members interested in attending are encouraged to RSVP by visiting the Community Center’s front desk or calling (305) 365-8900, though admission is free. The event represents an opportunity for local residents to gain insights from a journalist who has witnessed firsthand how information operations can impact national security and democratic processes.

Green’s visit is part of a broader speaking tour where he is sharing his expertise with communities across the country, reflecting the nationwide concern about the impact of disinformation on civic discourse and democratic institutions.
