UW & WSU present a statewide conversation on healthy digital practices
Thursday, April 9, 2020
4-5 p.m. PDT
COVID-19 is more than just a physical illness — inaccurate and incomplete information spreads just as rapidly around the globe, complicating efforts to contain the virus and keep communities safe and healthy. The state of Washington has been at the forefront of the crisis, taking action since COVID-19 first appeared in the U.S.
The University of Washington Center for an Informed Public and Washington State University’s Murrow College of Communication joined forces for this live streamed summit to address the spread of misinformation about the corona virus and offer advice on how to build healthier information practices. More than 2,000 people watched at least a significant portion of the event, which was streamed on YouTube and Facebook Live.
