SUMMARY:Re - Sieving the News: How to Glean the Gold from the Gravel
LOCATION:Patricia A. Whelan Performance Hall - Central Library\, 800 3 Stre
 et Southeast\, Calgary
DESCRIPTION:Join a panel of leading international scholars to explore how p
 eople engage with news across cultures\, countries\, and media systems.How
  do we decide which news sources to trust? How do our media habits shape t
 he way we understand the world around us? And how can we navigate an infor
 mation landscape where reliable journalism\, opinions\, and misinformation
  often compete for our attention?News is one of the main ways we make sens
 e of public events and political developments. The ability to navigate inf
 ormation thoughtfully\, recognize different perspectives\, and make inform
 ed judgments is an essential part of civic life. In today’s changing med
 ia landscape\, understanding how we engage with news matters not only to u
 s as individuals\, but also to the well-being of our communities.Join us a
 t Calgary Public Library’s Central Library for an engaging public panel 
 discussion presented in partnership with the University of Calgary’s Dep
 artment of Communication\, Media and Film\, and hear from prominent intern
 ational scholars from Canada\, the United States\, Sweden\, and Czech Repu
 blic.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\; wh
 at influences their decisions to trust or not to trust\; and how news prac
 tices shape worldviews and enable civic activism. Together\, we’ll consi
 der our powers and responsibilities as news users and will seek to identif
 y strategies for navigating the news landscape that can support informed c
 itizenship and stronger communities.Whether you are curious about current 
 events\, interested in media and technology\, or simply wondering how to m
 ake sense of the news you encounter every day\, this is an opportunity to 
 hear international perspectives\, explore new ideas\, and join the convers
 ation.Moderator: Prof. Brooks DeCillia\, School of Communication Studies\,
