In today’s complex media landscape, the intersection of free speech and journalism has never been more prevalent. Join the National Liberty Museum and World Affairs Council of Philadelphia for an engaging discussion on the evolving role of the press in upholding free speech both at home and abroad while navigating challenges of misinformation, public trust, and accountability. Bringing together journalists, media experts, and free speech advocates, the panel will explore the delicate balance between the power of the media to inform and influence and its responsibility to uphold ethical standards and truth in a world increasingly marked by polarization and political pressures.
