Seekonk, MA – 3/1/2021 – Propaganda comes in many forms: advertising, public relations, journalism, political communication, activism, entertainment and even education. Disinformation, fake news, memes and algorithms are changing how public opinion is manipulated today. How can you navigate the increasingly fine lines between truth and bias? Join Seekonk Public Library for the virtual program Media Savvy: Identifying Propaganda on Wednesday, March 24 at 6 PM to learn how to recognize, understand, resist, deconstruct and even create propaganda in our digital age.

If you’re not familiar with Zoom, contact the library at library@seekonkpl.org for assistance. This program is sponsored by Southeastern MA Huddle and free and open to the public.
