After5Chicago - Broken Media: Navigating The Credibility Crisis

Join an award-winning journalist and narrative advisor for Broken Media: Navigating the Credibility Crisis, an engaging conversation exploring how information is created, shared, and trusted in today’s rapidly evolving media landscape. This event will unpack the forces reshaping public understanding from social media algorithms and breaking news cycles to influencer-driven narratives and the rise of AI-generated content.

This is not your typical media panel. We’ll break down the collapse of traditional gatekeepers and examine how credibility is built, lost, and rebuilt in a world where anyone can publish and every story competes for attention. From misinformation and echo chambers to bias, virality, and platform incentives, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how modern media shapes perception, trust, and collective reality.
