“In today’s society, we are constantly bombarded by an information tidal wave. It’s difficult for people to know what is good information, and what is harmful.

At its helm will be two-time Fulbright scholar Professor Catherine Luther, who is stepping out of her role as director of the School of Journalism and Electronic Media to become director of the institute.
