Thanks to these media professionals for agreeing to be on our Sorting Facts from Fiction: Media Literacy Panel Discussion on June 26, 2024, at Flying Pig Improv, 3203 E. Douglas Ave. in Wichita, Kansas.
About the event: Be on guard against fake news! In our contemporary society, misinformation is distorting public conversations, fostering divisions, and shaping public policy. The abundance of intentionally misleading and biased information, manipulated narratives and facts, and propaganda makes it a daunting task to differentiate fact from fiction.
Join us for this enlightening panel discussion, where we'll guide you on how to spot the fakers, recognize bias in news, and discover reliable sources.
This event is open to the public, and everyone is welcome.
The registration fee is $10 at the door or in advance.
We are meeting at Flying Pig Improv at 3203 E. Douglas Ave. from 6 to 8 PM.
