Program Description

Event Details

Misinformation and disinformation about current events spread fast online.  False, misleading, and misattributed stories and images add to the confusion about what is happening in today's world. 

Join us monthly as we explore media coverage on a trending topic and practice looking for misleading content. Learn about skills and tools to help you stem the spread of misinformation.

 

July's topic is COVID-19. How is the Pandemic reported in the US? Internationally? Where can you find local information? Join us as we explore media coverage on this topic.

To join this online program, you will need a computer, tablet or phone with a microphone. The link and password to join the event will be emailed to registrants one hour before the program begins. A phone number will be included to allow you to use a phone as speaker and microphone, if needed.
