Research & StudiesThe landscape of the media matters now more than ever; propaganda, mis/dis- and malinformation have been elevated to the highest echelons of government in our nation. Deep fakes, false equivalencies, half-truths, and conspiracy theories cloud online content from social media to fringe internet news outlets. It’s imperative that voters are empowered and educated to glean the facts from news, discern the truth, stay curious to ask questions, and seek answers and accountability from those in power.
Through a conversation between Eric Schurenberg, Founder and CEO of the Alliance for Trust in Media and distinguished instructor in Journalism at the University of Chicago, and Chelsey R. Cartwright, LWV's Manager of the Democracy Truth Project, we take a deeper look at how to discern media, why independent and local media matters, and explore tools and tactics to read across sources and build strategies to strengthen your League’s connection to local news outlets.
