SOLD OUT
Fake news is almost old news—almost. 38% of us have accidentally shared fake news; misinformation is now an essential part of many political strategies; social media algorithms shape everything from what we know to who. In this age of untruths and half truths, we ask a panel of journalists to share their vision of the future of news. Even if we know the challenges facing this industry, how do we address them? This isn’t just solutions journalism, it’s solutions for journalism. What can news outlets do to stay relevant—and heard—in the 2020s? How are journalists adapting? And what habits can readers adopt (or get out of) to support the truth? Bestselling author and journalist Omar El Akkad; Globe and Mail reporter Andrea Woo; former Globe & Mail columnist Elizabeth Renzetti, and Human Rights Reporting-awarded journalist Brandi Morin search for answers. Moderated by Kamal Al-Solaylee.
