HSBP ANNUAL MEETING AND BOARD ELECTIONS WILL BE HELD AT THIS EVENT

 

How do we know what to believe anymore? The business community relies on information about the world around us in decision-making. With the increase in “fake news”, how do we determine what information is reliable, what sources are trustworthy, and what is disinformation and unsubstantiated rumor? What role do social media “bots” and trolls play in diminishing the credibility of the media and what can be done about them? How do the different media (television, print, on-line) approach these issues? Expect a lively discussion from our distinguished panel.
