Members Meeting – The Media and our Expectations
03/22/2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm CDT
State/Region: MN
Restricted Attendance: Braver Angel members
Local Focus: Minnesota’s Arrowhead Region, NW Wisconsin, St. Paul and Eastern Suburbs
On March 22, the discussion on the media continues, this time on the expectations we have. In a partnership with Livingroom Conversations, this discussion is designed not to critique specific news sources but to clarify what we expect from news sources to be an informed citizenry. The group will discuss:
· How have you seen news media shift or change over the years? What concerns or appreciation do you have for those changes?
· What consequences have you seen or expected from the spread of “fake news”?
· How do you decide what news sources to trust? How has your trust in news sources changed? What news reporting practices or standards increase your belief that a news source is credible?
· What are examples of fake news you have seen that concern you? How did you verify they were false or misleading?
· Have you ever discovered a news report or story you had talked about or shared on social media was “fake news?” What happened?
