Truth on the Line: Journalism’s Role in Protecting Democracy

The pressure on journalism has never been greater. Sustained attacks, intimidation, lawsuits, business pressures and defunding efforts threaten the ability of news organizations to do their essential work, from our local communities to the national scene. Yet access to accurate, verified information is fundamental to a healthy democracy, no matter your beliefs.

Join Poynter in Sarasota for an evening of insight, discussion and accountability. The event will begin with a 30-minute reception to connect with peers, followed by a 60-minute panel featuring leading voices in news, fact-checking, AI and media innovation.

This is a must-see event for anyone committed to the future of a free press, ethical reporting and the public’s access to truth.
