FIGHTING FAKE NEWS SEMINAR

The League of Women Voters of Henderson County (LWVHC) will
host Dr. Amanda Sturgill, author of Detecting Deception - Tools to
Fight Fake News, on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, at 4 pm on
Zoom.
Fact checking and verification is an essential part of journalism.
Dr. Sturgill draws from present day news examples to help people
recognize the most common bad arguments public figures make.
Detecting Deception is an essential tool for training citizens,
including future journalists, to build stories that recognize faulty
arguments and hold their subjects to a higher standard.
Dr. Sturgill is an Associate Professor of Journalism at Elon
University, teaching storytelling to undergraduates, content
marketing and digital strategy to interactive media graduate
students and undergrad analytics students; and performs
research in emerging communication technologies.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information
