Tonight, we will be streaming the newest event from The Kalish Webinar Series about the “Authentication of digital visual content in the age of misinformation,” a presentation that is bringing together industry leaders, makers and managers to address the question, “how can we help protect and preserve the integrity of visual journalism in a climate of misinformation?”
The webinar is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. tonight, so we will be pushing our meeting back an hour to 7 p.m. and streaming the event in RTV 462/464. Please join us for this very important discussion, or if you’d rather join the webinar at home, sign up via this link.
