Kristin 10:00am - 12:00pm Interactive presentation: Embracing Social Media: Rewards, Risks, and Recognizing Fake News Thomas J. (Thom) Fladung, Hennes Communications (bio <https://www.crisiscommunications.com/bio/thomas-j-fladung/>) What are we getting out of social media? What do we do when nastiness heads our way? What are the opportunities for librarians to help themselves and their communities navigate social media messages and discern fake news from real? We’ve gone straight to the experts and asked crisis management consultant Thom Fladung, who knows Michigan well from his days as managing editor at the Detroit Free Press, to talk with you about what happens when – not if – you face incoming artillery from disgruntled patrons. 12:00 - 1:30pm Lunch On Your Own (map) <https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1HxjKbJduruhjbPvOPeoEsouBuCkhF_Y&ll=42.27996877755754%2C-83.73972962716675&z=18> 1:30 - 2:15pm Q&A with Thom Thanks!
