ABOUT THE EVENT
Phoenixville Public Library will host a free seminar, “Just the Facts: How to Spot Phony News”, on Thursday, July 15 at 7:00 PM. Mark Pinto, the Library’s Adult Services Director, will be the presenter. A healthy dose of skepticism is needed these days when encountering information, especially online. In this presentation, you will learn methods for spotting false or misleading news and discover several online tools for fact checking and determining bias. We’ll finish with an informal quiz to see if you can tell the difference between false/misleading and credible social media posts.
This event is free and open to the public and will be held online via Zoom. Registration is required at https://ccls.libcal.com/calendar/Phoenixville/phony-news or by calling 610-933-3013 x132. Email mpinto@ccls.org for more information.
