"Fighting the Fakers" SPJ/LA Presents a Panel on Media Literacy May 17 at 7 p.m. "Fake news" is an accusation leveled almost daily by pundits and politicians, while conspicuous factchecking has become a mainstay of political coverage. Public confidence in the press has fallen to single digits. And Facebook is gearing up efforts to fight "information operations" designed to "distort political sentiment." How can the average reader sidestep spin and sort out the truth? Identify what's left out of a story? What are media outlets doing to fight back? What's the long-term impact on the free press? Join our panelists for a discussion on media literacy in an age of instant and endless information, followed by Q&A. Panelists: Jim Newton is a veteran journalist who spent 25 years at the Los Angeles Times. Jim has authored three critically acclaimed and best-selling biographies. Evan George is the managing producer for public radio station KCRW's "To the Point." Kelly Whitney, director of integrated media for NBC4, oversees the station's digital news coverage and social media strategy.
