Election-themed convo coming up

Who: Our three speakers are Michelle Murray-Yang (Communication Studies), Kevin Trowbridge (Public Relations) and Courtney Fuson (Library)

Truthiness: Deciphering fact vs. fiction during election season

We all have that friend or relative who posts and sends emails reporting the latest political scandals: “Barack and Michelle Obama both surrendered their law licenses for questionable reasons” or “Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney transported a dog atop his car.” Where does this information come from and how does it spread? While some of these theories may not warrant an investigation, many of them do. How do you know if politicians, reporters, and journalist are speaking the truth? This convocation program will provide some background on the role of media during elections, discuss elections where new information has drastically affected results, and give some tips and tools for navigating fact and fiction during this election season.

This convocation program is for Academic Lecture credit.
