Challenges for Journalists
Oaks 212
Journalists (local, state, national, and international level) will discuss the challenges of providing accurate and honest stories. What do the terms accuracy and honesty mean? How is information gathered, assessed, and presented? What are the challenges associated with getting information from public officials? What other values or needs may compromise accuracy and/or honesty in journalism today?
