“Give the People Light and They will Find their Way” – The quote ran atop the Scripps-Howard Newspapers.

It was the assumption for America’s founders beliefs that a free press was essential to the Republic’s vitality. How ‘the press’ performs its role amid profound economic, technological and social changes’ is the subject of Lunch and Learn’s October 12th session with retired journalist Howard Bray and Marisha Goldhamer of Agence France-Presse’s Washington Bureau where she helps to lead its verification team. The team works to distinguish fact from calculated fiction.

The conversation will be moderated by Sid Booth.
