About this Event

For the 2026 Atkinson Lecture, Michelle Cyca, bureau chief, conservation and fellowships at The Narwhal and a contributing writer to The Walrus, speaks on credibility in an era of widespread disinformation and declining trust, the role of journalism in holding public institutions to account, and why she still believes in journalism.
