Distinguish truth from misinformation with Alabama Media Professionals
Alabama Media Professionals invites community members of all ages to hear Alee Quick, Director of Community Engagement for The News Literacy Project, Clay Carey, Associate Professor of Communication and Media at Samford University, and Olivia McMurrey, Freelance Journalist for News Outlets including Birmingham Watch and WBHM, discuss how to discern between fake news and vital information necessary to make life changing decisions in everyday life and politics. Weeding through misinformation takes time and effort, but with the right tools, it can be made easier. Light snacks will be provided.
