This event draws top journalists, academics and advocates to explore how we have gotten to historically low levels of trust in news media and how we can ensure a free, courageous and responsible press in times of extreme partisanship. The conference is free and open to the public.
Join the Center for Journalism Ethics as we explore critical issues facing journalism today:
-
Fake News
-
Conspiracy Theories
-
Disinformation
-
Public Mistrust
-
Possible solutions in what some are calling a “post-truth” era
