For over 50 years, the School has produced an extraordinary range and volume of research that has shaped the evolving field of communication.
Last week, our CMNS Peer Mentor program hosted Investigating Information, a free media literacy event. Attendees learned practical strategies for fact-checking online and gained further insight into the topic from our panel including professors Stuart Poyntz, Stephanie Dick and Ahmed Al-Rawi.
