Conversation Project: Beyond Fake News

How We Find Accurate Information about the World

November 9, 2019 | 10:30 a.m. | Jacksonville Branch Library

340 West C St., Jacksonville OR 97530

On both national and local levels, Oregonians have seen how the news can both represent and misrepresent the facts at hand. From debate over local opinions on the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to the discourse around “alternative facts,” it can seem difficult to find current and accurate information to use as we make decisions in our communities. This conversation, led by librarian Kelly McElroy, gives Oregonians a chance to consider their own practices and values around news consumption and find new ways to get the information they need.
