It was simply a delight to hear Professor Schwarz speak at the most recent Rose Cafe this week. Speaking on the the topic of “fake news” was rather enlightening for both the unique perspective he presented and for how it challenged me to think what precisely constituted fake news. I loved hearing about the professor’s research on the topic as he interviewed the publisher and reporters of the New York Times (my favorite newspaper) on how the paper operates and regulates itself. He was particularly enthusiastic and engaged the audience through thought-provoking questions such as assessing the bias of information we are expose to. I especially enjoyed his vague resemblance to Chuck Schumer. I’ll be looking forward to the next time he comes to speak to us, and likely even take a class or two with him!
