About this event

From AI to social media to election politics, it’s tough to know what to believe online anymore! Local journalists and truth crusaders Starshine Roshell, Lisa Osborn and Amy Marie Orozco are offering practical tips and easy-to-follow advice to help Central Coasters become savvy, responsible media consumers. Learn to spot doctored images, check sources, resist falling for “ragebait” — content that spurs you to share it without even verifying — and avoid spreading misinformation to your friends and family. Moment of Truth: Sorting Fact from Fiction in the Misinformation Age is made possible by a grant from the Association for Women in Communications Advancement Fund and the fiscal sponsorship of the Santa Barbara Foundation.
