Telling Fact From Fiction Online With Special Guest Donna Sinclair

#LaborRadioPod

As the election gets closer, the misinformation - and DISINFORMATION - getting passed around through social media seems to be at an all time high.  How is a working person supposed to tell when something is true... or false?

Three media professionals - KGW (https://www.kgw.com/) reporter and SAG-AFTRA Shop Steward Tim Gordon; former Columbian (https://www.columbian.com/) reporter and administrative officer for the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Guild (http://www.pnwguild.org/) Katie Gillespie; and Clark College (http://www.clark.edu/) communications professor Suzanne Southerland - are on hand with advice to help you avoid "fake news" - and keep you from spreading it yourself!

Then, history professor Donna Sinclair (https://www.sinclair4state.com/) stops by to talk about how historians play a role in determining what's fake and what's real - and to tell us about her run to represent Washington's 18th Legislative District in Olympia.

AND... the Southwest Washington Central Labor Council is running "fun banks" to support its endorsed candidates!  Find out more at https://tinyurl.com/y43cvurt!
