On Saturday, October 12th, 2024 the Friends of the Seaside Public Library will virtually welcome Donna L. Cohen, who will be offering a workshop over Zoom titled, “Misinformation and Propaganda – Telling Truth From Fiction.” This workshop will take place at 2:00 p.m. in the Community Room and attendees may also participate virtually. Are you overwhelmed with messages from politicians, news sources, and other media? Distinguish truth from fiction using real-world examples of political ads, news headlines, logical fallacies, graphs/charts, the effect of word choice in messaging, statistical data and other types of information. Become your own “fact-checker” and learn how to find accurate information by attending this workshop.
Professionally trained as a teacher and librarian (MLIS, MEd), for the past eight years Donna L. Cohen has presented nonpartisan Civics workshops for adults, usually through libraries and, sometimes, organizations like the League of Women Voters. Her workshops foster critical thinking skills, fill in gaps in civic and political understanding, and encourage civic engagement by revealing the myriad ways people can have their voices heard. She is actively involved in various civic/political projects. Find out more about Donna and her work on her website at: www.civicthinker.info
Pre-registration is required for this event and participants may sign-up at the Library, by calling (503-738-6742), or by email at [email protected]
