Over the 20th century, the U.S. news ecosystem transitioned from the first radio broadcasts to the rise of social media. This new technology also led to new types of journalism and ways of sharing news. As part of its 50th anniversary celebration, The Poynter Institute presents “Moments of Truth: An Exploration of Journalism’s Past, Present and Future.” This traveling pop-up exhibit traces the evolution of journalism and highlights its vital role in defending democracy and combating false information.
Curated by Poynter’s media literacy initiative MediaWise, the exhibit takes visitors on a journey through the earliest forms of journalism to today’s AI-driven news landscape.
Journalists and media experts in a moderated panel will explore the key moments that shaped today’s media landscape, and what comes next for news and information.
