The Women’s Community, part of the planning committee for this free event, welcomes you to attend.
From the Beyond the Headlines website:
Building Trust: Credibility of Law Enforcement and the Media
E101/E102 Northcentral Technical College
1000 W Campus Dr
Wausau, WI
Can we trust the media? Can we trust law enforcement? Why or why not? And why is that credibility important? Join us in a facilitated community conversation that brings together news media, law enforcement and the public to talk about the issue of how do we ensure we’re getting the true story. This discussion may touch on the use of methods such as body cams, squad cameras and interview cameras and the impact of the release of law enforcement video. It may also explore the impact of social media on public trust and claims of “fake news.”
