Information in 2019: What’s real… and what’s fake?
Thursday, Oct. 24 from 11 to 11:50 a.m.
Bulmer Telecommunications Center Auditorium
It is becoming increasingly difficult when we read or hear the news to know what is accurate and objective. Anyone can develop a website or a blog, and sometimes the information posted goes viral. But is it real or is it fake? Is it intended to inform, mislead or provide a political message?
Politicians promise transparency, but do they keep that promise if elected? Mark C. Mahoney, editorial page editor for The Daily Gazette in Schenectady who earned a 2009 Pulitzer Prize in editorial writing, will address these questions.
Voices: A Library Lecture Series is offered each semester to broaden and enrich the scope of studies at the college by presenting speakers on timely and enduring issues.
The public is welcome to attend; admission is free.
