This panel, aligned with DreamWeek's 2025 theme “We Are Neighbor,” will explore journalism's essential role in fostering community, trust, and understanding amid today's challenges with misinformation. As modern media channels—social media, podcasts, and unvetted sources—gain influence, communities face an increased risk of disconnection, division, and mistrust. This discussion will delve into how journalism, rooted in accuracy and ethics, can counter these effects by acting as a unifying force and a trusted neighbor in our shared information landscape.
