SUMMARY:VRMNC Speaker Luncheon - March 26
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION:  on “How to Interpret the News” by Dr. Eric Gorham (Club Member) \nSPEAKER:  Our March speaker will be Dr. Eric Gorham\, Professor Emeritus at Quest University\, and a new member of the VRMNC. \n \nThe event will take place on Thursday\, March 26\, at the Oak Bay Rec Centre\, doors opening at 11:30 am. \nAbout the talk:\nEric’s talk will look at biases in the news media.  It will be an analysis of the media going well beyond simple “liberal/conservative” stereotypes; he will argue that there are biases more insidious than ideology that afflict the media.  These biases have helped lead to the decline of traditional news media (the so-called “mainstream media”) and the rise of a new kind of news culture (social media\, blogging\, etc.).  Eric will also discuss where to find a variety of reliable news sources and political ideas and will give hints as to how to critically examine political news stories from both mainstream and non-traditional sources. \nMore about Eric…\nEric Gorham is Professor Emeritus at Quest University\, where he was a founding faculty member and taught political science from 2007 until 2022. Eric has also been a faculty member at Loyola University New Orleans and has taught at Concordia University in Montreal. \nTICKETS: Click + sign then click Get Tickets.
