Bergquist Room, Student Union Building, Boise State University
An Idaho Media Initiative Panel Discussion Event | Free lunch provided!

In an age of misinformation, polarization, and shrinking trust in news and institutions, how can we rebuild meaningful public conversation? This event brings together students, journalists, and media scholars to explore the role of media literacy, dialogue, and civic engagement in strengthening democracy. Join us for an open discussion about how we consume, share, and make sense of information—and what it will take to bridge divides and reclaim a shared reality.

Panelists:
• Sam Martin – School of Public Service
• Scott McIntosh – Idaho Statesman
• Emily Carmela Nelson – The Arbiter
• Isaac Castellano – School of Public Service
Moderated by Seth Ashley – Dept of Communication
