About this Event
Join us at Village Well Books & Coffee for a conversation about misinformation with author Samuel C. Spitale, in conjunction with the Culver City Democratic Club!
Social media once promised to bring users together in the digital space, but instead, it’s been used to spread disinformation, sow division, and radicalize impressionable minds in an increasingly insulated media environment. Media literacy author Samuel C. Spitale discusses how we got here, who benefits from the discord, and how to recognize media messages designed to divide and deceive.
About the author:
Samuel C. Spitale is the author of How to Win the War on Truth: An Illustrated Guide to How Mistruths Are Sold, Why They Stick, and How to Reclaim Reality (Quirk Books). He’s a media studies expert and communications instructor at Loyola Marymount who's trained journalism students at the State Department's International Digital Education and Arts Program and has been a featured speaker at the Clinton Presidential Center’s Civic Education Institute and Student Presidential Leaders Series.
