The First Amendment in a Changing America
October 15 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Free
What does the First Amendment mean in today’s rapidly changing information environment and what exactly does it protect?
Join the Bob Graham Center for Public Service on Thursday, October 15 at 5:30 PM in the Pugh Hall Ocora for a conversation about the past, present and future of the First Amendment.
Janet Coats, Managing Director of the Consortium on Trust in Media and a career journalist who has spent more than 25 years navigating seismic changes in the way Americans create, consume and share information. Janet will be joined by Kevin Goldberg, Vice President/First Amendment Expert at Freedom Forum and a leading national voice on First Amendment rights.
Together, they will explore how longstanding principles of first amendment freedoms are being tested and interpreted in today’s increasingly complex media and political environment.
Come for a thoughtful conversation about one of the foundational principles of American democracy and leave with a deeper understanding of what the First Amendment means for you in the world we live in today.
This in-person program is free and open to the public. A reception with the discussants will follow the program.
For those unable to attend in person, the program will be streamed live via YouTube.
Parking information will be available as the event approaches.
