Science Sundays: "Who do you trust? Why journalism still matters" on Jan. 11

In an era of misinformation, polarization and plummeting public confidence, journalism’s role is more crucial than ever. This talk explores how trust in media has eroded, why that matters for democracy and daily life, and how journalists can rebuild meaningful connections with their audiences. Join Nicole Kraft, professor of journalism practice in the School of Communication, for this Science Sundays event.
