Learn how we can protect one of our greatest freedoms as Dennis Hetzel, Executive Director of Ohio News Media Association, leads a conversation about “fake news,” media literacy, the state of local and regional news, and how we can be savvy media consumers.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

As a journalist and media executive, Hetzel has won numerous awards for writing, industry leadership and community service, including the 2003 Paul Tobenkin Memorial Award from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism for leadership in coverage of race and diversity issues. Since 2010, he has been president and executive director of the Ohio News Media Association in Columbus, Ohio and president of the Ohio Coalition for Open Government.

Hetzel is also the author of two political thrillers. "Season of Lies," a second novel, follows the award-winning “Killing the Curse” (Headline Books, 2014) in which events precede those that unfold in the latest novel.

Two of the books will be raffled at the event!

Please say you’ll join us at this Revolutionary Party! There will be wine and delicious food! We'll raffle off a couple of great books and everyone will go home with a goodie bag. Let's get out from behind our computers and enjoy an evening of friendship and gratitude for the people who do good works in this world. And we'll learn a lot, too!
