Designed to provide Rutgers and Eagleton alums with an understanding of disinformation and misinformation—where it has been, where it is now, and where it is heading—the series will blend academic research, real-world examples, and possible solutions to equip attendees with the knowledge and tools to counter misinformation effectively. Each segment will critically examine the evolution of misinformation, its current manifestations, and the role of artificial intelligence in shaping the future of information integrity.

This three-part webinar series, Our Media & Our Civic Life, is exclusively for Rutgers and Eagleton alumni led by School of Communication and Information (SCI) and Eagleton alums Gina Marcello, Associate Teaching Professor, Journalism and Media Studies Department, Rutgers University (’02 GF) and Claude Taylor, Project Director, Title V DHSI Grant, Middlesex College (‘O3 GF).

The segments will be held on April 14, May 12, and June 17.

This event is sponsored by the Eagleton Alumni Committee and the School of Communication and Information in partnership with the Department of Journalism and Media Studies and the Rutgers University Alumni Association.
