Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute and The Poynter Institute for a forum and review of PunditFact, the fact-checking unit of the Tampa Bay Times, which published more than 350 fact-checks of pundits in 2014, from newspaper columnists to television commentators. Panelists will take an in-depth look at the impact of PunditFact's work and how the fact-checking of pundits can improve, expand and further help ensure an informed electorate.
The Poynter Institute senior faculty member Al Tompkins will moderate, along with Aaron Sharockman, editor of PunditFact.
Featured panelists include Donna Brazile, political strategist and contributor to CNN and ABC News, Kathleen Parker of the Washington Post and Jackie Kucinich of the Daily Beast. They'll share their perspectives as columnists or commentators and how fact-checkers have influenced their work.
NPC members $22; Non-members $37. NPC members should login for the promo code.
Lunch 12:00 p.m.; Program 12:30 p.m.
