SUMMARY:Noise Versus News - Session Three
DESCRIPTION:OUR NEW “NOISE VERSUS NEWS” SERIES CONTINUES ON MARCH 30\, 2026. \n\n\n\n\nCONTINUING “NOISE VERSUS NEWS” FROM BRAVER ANGELS CENTRAL TEXAS: SESSION 3!\nTopic: “Tackling Bias“ \nWhen: Monday\, March 30\, 2026 from 7:30-8:45 PM (CST) \nHow: Online via Zoom \nWho: Our Speaker is Joanne Richards– Co-chair of Braver Angels Central Texas \nIn “Tackling Bias\,” we’ll begin by examining the perspectives and preconceptions each of us brings to the way we evaluate news. Our individual backgrounds and life experiences can subtly or overtly shape the way we interpret and analyze the information we consume from various news sources. \nNext\, we’ll assess the perceived biases of a wide range of news organizations. This includes considering who provides these evaluations and the potential influences behind their assessments. \nThen we’ll explore how news sources choose headlines\, story wording\, and even photos that seek to influence our judgements. \nAnd lastly\, we’ll finish by opening things up for your thoughts\, and experiences\, on how you “Tackle Bias” in your news. \nZOOM INFORMATION: The zoom link will be sent to all registrants the afternoon of the presentation.
