The event will be at the museum, 956 Maple Ave., Carpinteria, It will feature museum board trustee Amy Marie Orozco.
Moment of Truth: Separating Fact from Fiction in a Misinformation Age looks at the state of media, from AI to social media to election politics, where it’s often hard to know what to believe online.
Created by Central Coast journalists and truth crusaders Starshine Roshell, Lisa Osborn, and Orozco with funding by the Association of Women in Communications Advancement Fund and fiscally sponsored by the Santa Barbara Foundation, Moment of Truth offers practical tips and easy-to-follow advice to help people savvy, responsible media consumers.
The talk will include some of history’s memorable misinformation moments.
