SUMMARY:VIRTUAL EVENT—Democracy and the Informed Citizen
DESCRIPTION:Democracy and the Informed Citizen \nWhat is the role of journalism in society? With so much information coming at us all the time\, how should we know what to believe? What are the responsibilities of the public to protect free speech\, local news\, and to be informed\, for the good of our democracy? \nJoin GPB and Georgia Humanities for a livestream event on Tuesday\, October 6\, at 7:00p.m.\, with GPB’s Leah Fleming\, Donna Lowry\, and Virginia Prescott\, in candid conversation with an expert lineup of guests addressing these questions and more. This conversation will help viewers recognize how to get the best information available and make informed decisions\, no matter where they get their news. \nDo you have a question on this topic to share in the conversation? We want to hear from you! Please click here to submit your question\, and we will do our best to address it during the live program. We thank The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for their generous support of this initiative and the Pulitzer Prizes for their partnership.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL EVENT—Dare to Speak: Defending Free Speech for All
DESCRIPTION:Dare to Speak: Defending Free Speech for All \nSuzanne Nossel\, CEO of PEN America\, the writers’ human rights organization devoted to the celebration and defense of free expression worldwide\, will discuss her new book Dare to Speak: Defending Free Speech for All. In an era in which free speech is often invoked as a principle but rarely understood\, learning to maneuver the fast-changing\, treacherous landscape of public discourse has never been more urgent. Nossel offers a vital\, necessary guide to maintaining democratic debate that is open but respectful of the rich diversity of backgrounds and opinions in a changing country. Nossel will be joined in conversation by Emory historian Joe Crespino. \nThis virtual lecture is supported in part by Georgia Humanities\, as part of Georgia Humanities’ Civic Engagement Track at the virtual Decatur Book Festival.
