In an era of disinformation, it’s becoming harder for citizens to distinguish fact from fiction. Why do lies seem to spread faster than the truth? When does debunking falsehoods work, and when does it backfire? With two-thirds of surveyed news consumers expressing little to no trust in the media, how can we set the record straight?
Join University of Maryland scholars, students, and working journalists for a one-day conference exploring the critical work of information resilience. Through expert panels and interactive workshops, we’ll tackle key issues in media literacy, foreign propaganda, and the challenge of informing voters in a divisive political landscape.
We have an exciting lineup of researchers and journalists addressing the evolving media, democracy, and disinformation landscape.
