NPF Webinar: Fake News and Alternative Facts in Today’s Media World

In the past year, “fake news” went from a campaign concern to a political weapon. Now, if somebody doesn’t like your story, you could be labeled a purveyor of fake news. How can the media respond – both to the onslaught of fake stories and to the unfair charges that critical stories aren’t legitimate? Should the media fact-check obviously fake stories, or does that just give them more life? We’ll discuss the latest in this troubling trend. And we’ll take questions from viewers.

When: Wednesday, February 22, 2017 | noon Eastern | 17:00 GMT

Participants (more to be added):

Speaker: Margaret Sullivan, media columnist for The Washington Post
