Apr 23-27
In a world where technology disguises misinformation and propaganda as news, it’s difficult to know what information to trust. Many Americans have been driven away from the news they need to participate in our democracy. Trusted Sources is a new documentary film that shows how we got here, how to find trustworthy news, and how to protect good journalism. Ultimately, finding and protecting good journalism requires some effort from news consumers; this shows how we can identify news organizations that earn our trust by adhering to standards that we expect of them, how to spot misinformation and stop it from spreading, and what we can do to protect and support our local news outlets. (Don Colacino, 2024, USA, 1:06, NR)
