[Lwvcnmtopics] LWVCNM Monthly Meeting Thursday October 13th - Voter Education Part 2 - The Mis- and Dis- Information Challenge - Zoom Only

[Starlyn Brown]

LWVCNM Members,

Please join us for this informative monthly meeting Thursday October 13th at Noon.  This meeting will be Zoom ONLY.  The Zoom invitation is after the meeting description. 

Voter Education, Part 2 - The Mis- and Dis- Information Challenge

The meeting will feature Trip Jennings/NM In Depth and Amy Linn/Searchlight NM, both online journalists, providing insight and recommendations regarding mis- and dis- information appearing in public media.  Allegations or suspect reports may be either perceived as factual due to prior experiences and information but there may also be intent to mislead the public to affect outcome of future decisions or impact financial resources.  LWVCNM members will learn methods to identify questionable information and to counter preconceived ideas, which could lead to faulty conclusions or ill-advised actions.   

Amy Linn serves as Managing Editor of Searchlight NM and has written about social issues and criminal justice throughout her career, starting at the Miami Herald and including work for the Philadelphia Inquirer, San Francisco Examiner and Bloomberg News. She was the recipient of an Alicia Patterson Journalism Fellowship to write about teenagers on death row; the resulting stories appeared in The New York Times and other publications. Amy has been an editor at Outside Magazine, Wired and the San Francisco Chronicle, where she was associate national editor. She has also freelanced for national magazines and been a case investigator for the Montana Innocence Project.
                                           
Trip Jennings serves as Executive Director of NM in Depth.  In 2012, Trip Jennings co-founded New Mexico In Depth, whose mission is to produce investigative, data-rich stories with an eye on solutions that can be a catalyst for change. Prior to that, he worked at newspapers in Georgia, California, Florida and Connecticut covering everything from public corruption and a governor going to federal prison to gang violence to the 2001 anthrax attacks before moving to New Mexico in 2005. From 2005 to 2012, he covered New Mexico politics and state government for the Albuquerque Journal, The New Mexico Independent and the Santa Fe New Mexican, respectively. In addition, he earned a Master’s of Divinity from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Ga.
