Building Trust: The Impact of Race

Oct 3, 2018
7:00 pm
FREE

E101/E102 Northcentral Technical College
1000 W Campus Dr
Wausau, WI

How do news headlines, pictures and language that identifies race, ethnicity or religion affect how we understand the news and the people in the news? What is the responsibility of media and law enforcement in reporting incidents that involve minority populations? Join us in a facilitated community conversation that brings together news media, law enforcement and the public to talk about the impact of media coverage of incidents involving minority populations, including undocumented residents. How does this coverage affect public perceptions of policing? How does it affect public perceptions of minorities?
