Misinformation is everywhere, but so are the tools to fight it. Join Kathie Obradovich, editor-in-chief of Iowa Capital Dispatch with nearly 40 years of reporting experience; Amy McCoy, Drake University professor and former AP political reporter; and Dan Chibnall, Drake University STEM Librarian and expert on how the brain processes information, for Becoming a Savvy Media Consumer: Tips from the Pros.

Together, we’ll explore:

How Iowa’s media landscape is evolving
Tools and strategies to detect and counter misinformation
How our brains process information and shape what we believe

This session offers practical skills for spotting falsehoods, engaging productively with those who share them, and navigating today’s fractured media world with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re a news consumer, community leader, or educator, you’ll leave with insights and resources to think critically and act effectively.
