Study Group with Brock Lowrance: Spreading the News

Study Group with Brock Lowrance: Spreading the News


Public confidence in the media has hit record lows, the perception of media bias dominates both sides of the political aisle and “Fake News” is even in the dictionary now. Traditional media has been disrupted, and digital platforms have transformed how we consume information and form opinions. We’ll discuss how we got here, the changing media ecosystem, how it impacts politics and if the democratization of information is strengthening or undermining institutions.


GUEST: Scott Jennings, Republican strategist; political commentator (CNN); former Special Assistant to the President for Political Affairs (George W. Bush Administration)


AUDIENCE: These conversations are open to members of the Harvard community. Please RSVP with a valid Harvard email address. 


OFF-THE-RECORD: In keeping with our long tradition at the IOP to ensure honest and candid discussions of politics, all IOP study groups are off-the-record.
