Dr. Michael Spikes has spent more than 15 years in the fields of media literacy education, news media literacy, and youth media. His research is centered on encouraging critical thinking to limit the effects of exposure to misinformation and disinformation. As we struggle to distinguish fact from fiction, the need for these skills have never been more urgent.

Please join the League of Women Voters of Illinois to learn more about recognizing mis- and disinformation in the media.

This program is part of a League event series where noted authorities speak on relevant topics leading up to the U.S. Presidential Election on Tuesday, November 5. Presented by LWVIL’s Misinformation and Disinformation Task Force, the series is part of an effort to provide tools and resources that educate voters.
