“Journalism and Society Today: News in a Post-Truth Nation” aims to create a student-led forum with which Chicago-area student and professional journalists with diverse backgrounds and perspectives can explore, through active discussion, the changing landscape of the field of journalism, with a focus on the roles of fact, truth, and trust. We hope to build a community of passionate students and mentors who teach and learn from each other, as well as to foster meaningful, continuing relationships between high school newspapers and professional journalists.
