Reality Check LIVE

Join The Tyee and investigative journalist Rachel Gilmore for Reality Check LIVE — an evening exploring how misinformation spreads, how journalists verify what's true, and what it takes to report on online radicalization in Canada today.

Join us for a keynote address from Rachel Gilmore, followed by an on-stage conversation with Tyee journalist Jen St. Denis and host Harrison Mooney, associate editor at The Tyee, and guest Mo Amir, host of This is Vancolour. Expect a frank, urgent, and eye-opening discussion about the information landscape — and what independent journalism can do about it.

With special musical guest Francis Baptiste.
