In today’s environment, many claim to be part of the “media.” But oftentimes, they represent special interests or no interest, lacking training or ethics. Veteran Oregon journalist Les Zaitz will help sort out how to decide you can trust a news source and when you should treat a source with deep skepticism. Facts matter. Les will explain why.
Speaker
Les Zaitz, Editor/CEO, Salem Reporter
