Event—Democracy at a critical crossroads in an era of disinformation

May 14, 2024

Join us for TRuST's next event! Liberal democracies depend on trust and an informed public. However, disinformation is on the rise as technological advancements and our changing media landscape have allowed false information to spread like wildfire, feeding our social echo chambers and stifling constructive dialogue. How can we make informed decisions or respond to global challenges if we don’t know the facts?  

Join the University of Waterloo in partnership with the Balsillie School of International Affairs, for a conversation on how disinformation and misinformation are leading to polarization, voter apathy and a lack of trust in science and our public institutions. We’ll explore how we can earn trust to defend the future of democracy in an era of disinformation.
