Science on Tap E03: The News Trust Crisis

What to expect This edition of Science on Tap dives into the growing crisis of trust in the news. Together with Erasmus researcher Arne van Lienden, we'll explore why confidence in journalism has reached historic lows and what role social media, AI and representation in newsrooms play in shaping the information we see every day. After the talk, there's plenty of room to ask questions, share perspectives and continue the conversation over a drink at OASE's Strandtent. No prior knowledge is required, just curiosity and an openness to hear different viewpoints. ‍ Timetable ‍17:00 - Doors open 20:15 - 21:15 Science on Tap 21:15 - 21:45 Q&A The Strandtent is open for drinks, dinner and bar bites from 16:00 - 23:00. ‍ About Arne van Lienden Arne van Lienden works as an assistant professor and researcher in Media & Journalism at the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication.
