Description:
Join us for a presentation by Samuel C. Spitale, author of How to Win the War on Truth: An Illustrated Guide to How Mistruths Are Sold, Why They Stick, and How to Reclaim Reality (Quirk Books). The presentation will be A Crash Course in Media Literacy, breaking down the types of mass communication and debunking real-world examples of misinformation that muddy the media landscape, helping attendees become more savvy media consumers.
The book exposes how the powerful use the tools of persuasion to influence public opinion and sell us ideas that enrich themselves at the public’s expense. It examines how these ideas impact our lives, and it argues that understanding this is key to making informed decisions and protecting our democracy.
Mr. Spitale is a writer, storyteller, and media studies expert with degrees in advertising and media management who’s written for Huffington Post, Geek magazine, Star Wars Insider and Advocate.com.
