Participate in a facilitated discussion on issues raised during the first two sessions (Fake News 101 with Melissa Zimdar on October 8 and Fake News 201 with Andrew Tollison on October 15). If you attended one or both seminars, this is an opportunity to talk with others about the issues which resonated with you. Andover resident Richard Davis will facilitate the discussion. The format will be a Zoom meeting so if possible, people will be on camera.

Melissa Zimdars is an Associate Professor in Media and Communication at Merrimack College and a Research Affiliate at the Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. She is also the co-editor of the book Fake News: Understanding Media and Misinformation in the Digital Age.

Dr. Tollison has been at Merrimack since 2012 and teaches courses in Lying & Deception, Food as Communication, Conflict Management, Advocacy, and Research Methods.
