About this event
In this presentation, award-winning journalist and media executive Eric Schurenberg explores the current news and election landscape. You’ll come away with an understanding of how social media and digital economics shape today's information environment, how partisan actors exploit our all-too-human vulnerability to misinformation, and how those economic and psychological forces have shaped the coverage of this Presidential campaign.
The goal: To help you think critically, despite the heightened passion and noise, about the decision you'll make on November 5.
This program is part of a League event series where noted authorities speak on relevant topics leading up to the U.S. Presidential Election on Tuesday, November 5. Presented by LWVIL’s Misinformation and Disinformation Task Force, the series is part of an effort to provide tools and resources that educate voters.
