SAVE THE DATE: “Fake News, Spin and Finding the Truth” Workshop

There’s lots of controversy about how journalism gets done these days—is it accurate, fair and factual? Meanwhile, how are the communication industries changing as we rely more on social media for our sources for information? And how does all of that affect your career choices and opportunities, whether you plan to go into public relations, broad- cast, print or something else? Find out what seasoned, award-winning journalists have to say in our workshop titled “Fake News, Spin and Finding Truth.” Members of the Press Club of Long Island, a professional chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, will speak to students at a special forum on April 16 from 9-11 am in the Campbell Lounge in the CRS (Center for Recreation and Sport). A light breakfast will be served. This event is sponsored by The Delphian and the Communications Department. Contact senior adjunct professor Liza Burby for more information at [email protected]. More details will be available through the department soon. 4 • April 1, 2019 FEATURES The Delphian Students Strut Their Stuff for Childhood Cancer Fundraiser “Gina is a beacon and inspiration for our BY CARSON BAILEY sisterhood.
