CCA III: Journalism and American Democracy
February 1–4, 2026
Today polls indicate that the corporate media, once all powerful, is less trusted than Congress, and a new information landscape is coming into view. This third CCA of the 2025-2026 academic year will consider the purpose and importance of a free press, standards of honest journalism, and recent changes in the delivery of news and opinion.
