The Age of Fake: Can Young People Trust the Media?
It’s time to talk abaht that thing that everyone's talking about. Fake news. Now that every Tom, Dick and ‘Arry can set up a blog and give us opinion as fact, it’s hard to know who to trust when it comes to credible news sources. This event will see a debate between students and journalists to reflect on how you young’uns engage with the media and using technology to make the media more transparent and accountable. Proper interesting stuff.

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
