Not long ago, there was broad public confidence in the news media getting its facts right. But today, with the proliferation of online media and opinion-driven content, it's harder than ever to tell what's legitimate from what's not — with cries of bias and even « fake news » dominating the news cycle. " However,« fake news » can mean many things : a false story planted by a business competitor, contagious fabrications on social media, a natural product of the anonymous Internet or — to some — real journalism with which you just disagree.
Please join a panel of distinguished experts in international journalism, investigations and reputation law for a lively discussion of these and other issues — and perhaps raise some of your own. This program will be in English.
