Trump, Twitter and Fake News: How Journalists Can Build Credibility by Opening Up Their Work (October 26, 2017 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/44737 44737-9969046@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 26, 2017 2:30pm
Location: Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Organized By: Wallace House Center for Journalists

Free and open to the public.
Doors open at 2 p.m. Seating is on a first-come basis.
Questions about the event, email: WallaceHouseRSVP@umich.edu.

Event will be live webstreamed at https://wallacehouse.umich.edu/?p=8583.

How should the press adapt when those in power use the epithet “fake news” to attack real reporting? Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, David Fahrenthold of The Washington Post, offers suggestions for both reporters and news consumers on navigating this new era. He will discuss how journalists can open up their own reporting process through social media, show the public the work that underlies their stories and invite readers in as collaborators.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Fahrenthold used social media to follow-up on Donald Trump’s pledge to donate money to veterans groups. Posting his reporter’s notes on Twitter to solicit leads, Fahrenthold uncovered Trump’s questionable charitable practices and found no evidence that Trump donated money to veterans groups as he’d claimed. Fahrenthold was also the first reporter to reveal the existence of the “Access Hollywood” 2005 video in which Trump bragged about groping women. For his series of stories, Fahrenthold won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting.

A graduate of Harvard, Fahrenthold has been at The Washington Post since 2000. There he reports on President Trump’s businesses and conflicts of interest. He previously covered the Washington, D.C., police, the environment, New England, Congress and the federal bureaucracy for the paper.

EQUUS | Presented by Rude Mechanicals (November 3, 2017 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46318 46318-10435411@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 3, 2017 7:00pm
Location: Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Organized By: Maize Pages Student Organizations

EQUUS (1975 TONY AWARD for Best Play) is a horror story, and a psychological thriller. In an examination of 'normalcy' and the ways that society destroys our ability to feel passion, Peter Shaffer (AMADEUS, HUNT OF THE RISING SUN, BLACK COMEDY) takes us into this harrowing exploration of religion, faith, and sexuality.Martin Dysart is a psychiatrist, struggling to understand the motivations behind an unspeakable act of violence committed by the disturbed youth, Alan Strang. What he finds is enough to send him reeling... The questions will leave his personal life in disarray, chip away at his career, and eventually fray the very fabric of his own mind.

EQUUS (1975 TONY AWARD for Best Play) is a horror story, and a psychological thriller. In an examination of 'normalcy' and the ways that society destroys our ability to feel passion, Peter Shaffer (AMADEUS, HUNT OF THE RISING SUN, BLACK COMEDY) takes us into this harrowing exploration of religion, faith, and sexuality.Martin Dysart is a psychiatrist, struggling to understand the motivations behind an unspeakable act of violence committed by the disturbed youth, Alan Strang. What he finds is enough to send him reeling... The questions will leave his personal life in disarray, chip away at his career, and eventually fray the very fabric of his own mind.

Ana Navarro, GOP Strategist and Political Contributor to CNN, ABC News, and Telemundo (February 19, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/49320 49320-11417464@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 19, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

From the speaker's bio:

Ana Navarro is a well-known Republican strategist and a political analyst for CNN and CNN en Español. She is also a political contributor on ABC’s The View. The Miami New Times named her a “Republican power-consultant,” and the Tampa Bay Times called her “a sought-after voice in Republican politics and an adviser for any presidential hopeful,” saying, “with confidants Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio she is poised to play a big role in the GOP response to immigration reform and Hispanic outreach.” Respected on both sides of the aisle for her straight shooting and candor, Navarro frequently appears in the media, sought after by Meet the Press, Bill Maher’s Real Time, Anderson Cooper 360, and The View, to name a few. “Ana speaks the truth, and she is willing to speak the truth to power without reservation…She has the ear of lots of elected officials,” said Republican consultant Brett O’Donnell. She is in touch with the political issues people are talking about, and in presentations, she discusses the latest hot button issues in politics, giving audiences an insider’s view of the upcoming elections and a roadmap for where the country is headed.
