SUMMARY:Political Rhetoric and Misinformation in Democracy
DESCRIPTION:LWVWC Event:  \n\n\n\nIn a world rampant with misinformation and political polarization\, The League of Women Voters of Wayne County is presenting “Political Rhetoric and Misinformation in Democracy”\, a program designed to inform attendees on how to recognize\, sort through and identify this bi-partisan phenomenon. Free and open to the public\, the event will be held on Tuesday\, September 30\, 2025\, at 7:00 p.m.\, in the Lean Lecture room\, lower level of Wishart Hall\, 303 E. University Street\, on the College of Wooster Campus. \n\n\n\nA panel of noted published experts\, will present a non-partisan look at how different political strategies and data can be used to sway and confuse the public. \n\n\n\nFeatured will be the following speakers: \n\n\n\nElora Agsten – Learning Engagement Librarian\, College of Wooster \n\n\n\nDenise Bostdorff – Professor of Communication Studies\, College of Wooster \n\n\n\nLauren Copeland – Principal Consultant\, Data and Dialogue Insights \n\n\n\n“As always\, the League’s focus continues to be educating citizens to use their voice and their vote by making informed choices that truly reflect their wishes on both issues and candidates\,” Brenda Linnick\, league member\, said. “Our goal for this event is to enable attendees to recognize how both sides of the political spectrum are equal opportunity offenders and use data and words to sway and polarize voters.” \n\n\n\nThe League understands that polarization created by political rhetoric and misinformation leads to divides within society and can undermine the democratic process. The group strives to present educational opportunities which can help community members engage in real\, informed civil discourse.
