Walk a Mile in My News

_Open to JCC Members._

Our news sources impact how we see the world. As a result, staying within our
own media “echo chambers” may limit our understanding of complex issues and
contribute to polarization. The Walk a Mile in My News interactive seminar
encourages us to respectfully “reach across the aisle” and get to know our
fellow community members who may have different opinions and consume different
news sources. The _Walk a Mile in My News_ seminar is designed to explore the
impact of media choices, media bias, and its contribution to our current day
political polarization. This interactive session will provide a brief history
of the evolution of the media landscape, bring awareness to the polarizing
effects of media, and offer insight and strategies in how to handle these
conversations differently. Participants will better understand how media and
social media actively contribute to polarization today, explore potential bias
in our own news sources, interact in small groups engaging in respectful
discussion and understand ways to engage with people who have different
political perspectives.
