📍 Reno Public Market

Misinformation isn’t just a media problem. It’s a community problem. When trust in journalism erodes, it weakens the shared understanding we need to make decisions together, from local policy to public health.

Truth Decay is the term researchers use for the diminishing role of facts and analysis in public life. This event brings together local journalists, media scholars, and your community to explore what’s happening, why it matters, and what we can do about it.

Whether you’re a news junkie, a sceptic of all things media, or somewhere in between, this evening is designed for you. Expect thoughtful discussion, practical tools for evaluating information, and the chance to ask our expert panel your toughest questions, including:

• Moderator: Terri Russell, Chief Reporter, KOLO-TV
• Panelists:
  
  • Dr. Gi Yun Dean, Reynolds School of Journalism University of Nevada, Reno
  • Mark Robison, State Politics Reporter, Reno Gazette Journal
  • Natalie Van Hoozer Bilingual journalist & Community Manager, LION Publishers
