We just grab a coffee and speak French. Some people have been coming every week for months... it creates a kind of warmth to the group.

Hi. Thanks for a great meetup. I would like to see a meetup that discusses the challenges of separating propaganda from news. Even with the most diligent research, how does a journalist reach people with real facts when so much media persuades people with spinned facts? And why are media channels not legally bound to be more careful with facts? Or if they are, how do they get away with it? Then, how can journalists be more effective when consumers of news have trouble believing real facts, no matter how well presented?
Other questions might be how do media outlets go about choosing News Agendas? Can a publication even discern for itself the differences between presenting News Items or Agendas vs. promoting Political Agendas in News? Do most consumers of media assume, or even prefer, that media outlets are either Right or Left? I probably went overboard here. But these are real questions I'd love to explore with other journalists. Thank you!
