As the general elections approach, the role of the press in combating disinformation and providing accurate coverage has never been more critical. Join leading journalists María Ramos Pacheco, a distinguished voice in covering politics, social justice, and human rights, and Luis Pablo Beauregard from El País, one of the most influential newspapers in the Spanish-speaking world, as they discuss the complexities of covering elections in a time when misinformation is rampant.
With its deep roots in Spain and a significant presence across Latin America and the U.S., El País offers a critical perspective on international affairs and the political landscape, while The Dallas Morning News, represented by Ramos Pacheco, has long shaped public discourse in North Texas, known for its investigative reporting and commitment to community-focused journalism.
Moderated by Summer Lopez, Senior Director of Free Expression Programs at PEN America, an organization dedicated to defending and celebrating free expression and protecting the rights of writers and journalists worldwide, this panel will explore the challenges, responsibilities, and pressures journalists face while ensuring that the truth prevails in an increasingly polarized environment.
