In this virtual webinar, we will do some myth-busting, share examples of COVID-19 fakeries, discuss the impact of misinformation during a public health crisis and share some tips on vetting information online. We will also discuss the role of sourcing and fact-checking and how newsrooms like PublicSource approach the evolving story of the coronavirus on the local level. Students and teachers are welcome. This class will be 45 minutes long and we will leave 15 minutes for questions. Registration is required here. 

This virtual event is made possible with support from Jefferson Regional Foundation.
