It also aims to inspire news consumers, educators and students to practice news literacy and to strengthen trust in news media by reinforcing the role of credible journalism.

Join KSHB-TV anchor Dia Wall, host of KCUR's Up-to-Date Steve Kraske, and KCUR reporter Celisa Calacal for a panel discussion about journalism's role in today's democracy. Conversation begins at Noon with time for Q&A at the end.
