Nicole Kraft, School of Communication professor of practice, will be featured at the Jan. 11 Science Sundays: “Who do you trust? Why journalism still matters.” The event will be held at the Ohio Union U.S. Bank Conference Theater from 3-5 p.m. 

In an era of misinformation, polarization and plummeting public confidence, journalism’s role is more crucial than ever. This talk explores how trust in media has eroded, why that matters for democracy and daily life, and how journalists can rebuild meaningful connections with their audiences. 

The event is free and open to the public. RSVPs are requested. 

Science Sundays is a free lecture series open to the public that provides a wide range of current and emerging topics and issues in science that touch our everyday lives.
