The DC Public Library is hosting a series of events in partnership with the Poynter Institute, aiming to address the challenges of misinformation in media. This includes a traveling exhibit titled 'Moments of Truth,' showcasing the evolution of journalism from colonial times to present-day AI-generated news. The series will consist of panels, workshops, and interactive experiences designed to empower participants with critical thinking skills about the information they encounter. A Pew Research study indicates that many adults are wary of news, emphasizing the need for better tools to evaluate credibility and foster discussions about press freedoms.
This initiative is about helping people think critically about the information they see every day-while giving them techniques they can use to navigate their information ecosystem.
As part of a traveling exhibit, the initiative aims to address concerns regarding the overwhelming nature of news and the need for improved media literacy tools.
Each session is designed to answer one urgent question: How do I know what's real? This reflects a growing public desire for credible information.
At a time when press freedoms are under threat, it is crucial to have meaningful conversations about those challenges.
