Re-sieving the News: How to Glean the Gold from the Gravel

Join a panel of leading international scholars to explore how people engage with news across cultures, countries, and media systems.
How do we decide which news sources to trust? How do our media habits shape the way we understand the world around us? And how can we navigate an information landscape where reliable journalism, opinions, and misinformation often compete for our attention?
Through an engaging conversation, the panelists will share insights into the changing ways people access and use news; how various audiences tackle the latest technological challenges posed by algorithms and AI; what influences their decisions to trust or not to trust; and how news practices shape worldviews and enable civic activism. Together, we’ll consider our powers and responsibilities as news users and will seek to identify strategies for navigating the news landscape that can support informed citizenship and stronger communities.
Whether you are curious about current events, interested in media and technology, or simply wondering how to make sense of the news you encounter every day, this is an opportunity to hear international perspectives, explore new ideas, and join the conversation.
