Misinformation Y Las Noticias: Credible News for Latinx and Spanish-Language Communities

Join PEN America for a conversation with local reporters and community leaders about misinformation in Latinx and Spanish-language communities. Communities of color have been hit hard by misinformation about the pandemic, and already, BIPOC communities are being targeted with disinformation about the upcoming election and voting rights. 

Panelists include Liz Magallanes of Mi Familia Vota. 

During this live, interactive conversation, we’ll explore the ways that misleading and false content spreads in different communities and possible solutions for the barrage of mis- and disinformation that harms communication ecosystems and erodes public trust. We’ll discuss how media literacy skills and local news coverage can help defend vulnerable communities from bad actors.
