The Plank Center for Leadership in Public Relations is releasing a powerful conversation on our Facebook page titled “Confronting the Crisis of Misinformation” next week on Thursday, April 15 at 2 p.m. CDT.
The events of both last year and this year have been tumultuous and we felt that a transparent conversation was needed to address the widespread crisis of misinformation.
Leading experts on the issue of misinformation, Alan Miller, CEO at The News Literacy Project and Elisa Shearer, Research Associate at Pew Research Center, join Plank Center board member Mark Harris to frame the problem and deliver practical advice on how PR and Communications professionals can contribute to a correction.
The discussion covers data and insights from Pew Research, guidance on healthy information habits, and examines the role and responsibility of communications professionals in restoring people’s ability to trust what we see and hear.
