Journalism, You, and the Future of Truth-Seeking
July 31, 2022 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Today’s Topic:
Despair over the seeming triumph of disinformation doesn’t have to overwhelm us. You can take action and personal responsibility to help nurture and support honest journalism and the “responsible search for truth and meaning” that Unitarian Universalism encourages.
Dave Umhoefer is a Wisconsin native and Pulitzer Prize-winning local news reporter in Milwaukee who now guides in-depth, solutions-oriented reporting projects at the O’Brien Fellowship in Public Service Journalism at Marquette University.
