Among the many topics covered: fake news, creating news stories for radio and television, the First Amendment, recognizing stereotyping and bias, social media news-telling, and investigative reporting.
The conference additionally includes tours of the campus and information about Fresno City College’s journalism program. The event is open to students from Fresno, Madera, Tulare, and Kings counties and is free for all participants.
