We hosted a Student Roundtable with Pakistani student leaders from Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), New York University (NYU), Ohio Wesleyan, and City University of Hong Kong. This session explored the concept of selective activism.

Our expert panelists, Nighat Dad, Alia Chughtai, and Erum Shaikh, shared their thoughtful and relatable insights with us. We talked about navigating misinformation, and staying informed while also staying mentally healthy.

The NewsRun and The Tempest had a quick Instagram Live chat about how to detect bias in the news. Learn more about the questions you should ask yourself while reading a news story.

We hosted a short guided meditation on The NewsRun’s Instagram page. Tune in if you need a break from the news, and are looking for an opportunity to unwind. This is a part of our collaboration with The Tempest to help people consume news more mindfully.

We talked about how to navigate misinformation and fake news on social media. We also discussed what social media developers can do to slow or prevent the spread of misinformation on their platforms.
