Are the media watchdogs or lapdogs? WSU Vancouver professors Sam Lohmann and Laurie Mercier discuss how we can become more informed and critical media/information consumers, users, and creators. They look at how the media covered the Holocaust, the persecution of the Roma people, and Israel’s war on Gaza to understand the process of selection, emphasis, and bias that lead to misunderstanding of current and past events.

Presented by Carol Silverman. The Nazi genocide resulted in the death of over a half a million Roma, representing 50 to 90% of some communities. Why is this aspect of the Holocaust relatively unknown, and who are Roma? This illustrated presentation explores historic discrimination against Roma as well as their many contributions to European culture.
