Lunch ‘n’ Learn: Reporting, Policy Formation, and Political Misinformation

As our politics become increasingly polarized and social media has increased the reach of non-traditional news sources, misconceptions about what the government does and how policies function can drive unpredictable, volatile changes in public opinion. To combat misinformation, policymakers' ability to clearly communicate with the public is more important than ever. Join Democracy Fellow Amy Gardner, White House Editor for the Washington Post, as she sits down to discuss the complicated relationship between policymaking, public opinion, and political reporting. Lunch is included with an RSVP.
