Truth Under Siege: Building Information Resilience (One-Day Conference)

9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Truth Under Siege: Building Information Resilience

Location: Knight Hall, University of Maryland, College Park
7765 Alumni Drive, College Park, MD 20742

What is the future of American democracy when seeing isn't believing?

In an era of disinformation, it becomes increasingly difficult for citizens to tell fact from fiction. Why do lies seem to travel faster than the truth? When does debunking falsehoods work, and when does it backfire? How do we set the record straight when two-thirds of surveyed news consumers don't trust the news media much, or at all? 

Join University of Maryland scholars, students and working journalists for a one-day conference to explore research into the ever-critical work of information resilience.
