Propaganda and disinformation are polluting our digital spaces and fueling our divisions as a society. Even casual conversations can feel fraught in these times. People care deeply about these realities but often don’t know what to do about them.

During this Media Literacy Week event, social change and communications strategist Deanna Troust will explore these dynamics and share simple but powerful ways each of us can be part of the solution set in addressing them. Mallory Sofastaii, WMAR-2's consumer investigations reporter known for the "Matter for Mallory" series, will join Deanna and share about her process for reporting on real estate and other scams that have trapped Baltimore residents. The event will include a Q&A period with both speakers
