In a world with Facebook, Twitter, 24/7 news channels, talk radio, citizen journalism, fake news, real news, audiences are drowning in an overwhelming overload of information. Clearly a guidepost is needed to identify what is a trustworthy and a reliable source of news and information.
Delaware Humanities, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, has created a podcast– "A Matter of Facts" – to delve into this topic as part of its mission is to engage, educate, and inspire all Delawareans through cultural programming.
This week on The Green, we bring you the latest episode of A Matter of Facts – featuring a conversation with Delaware Dept. of Education’s Christine Alois and Shana Payne.
Christine Alois was named the state Dept. of Education's Deputy Director last summer after 24 years in the Caesar Rodney School District where she most recent served as the district's Director of Instruction.
Shana Payne has served as the state Education Department's Director of Higher Education since 2013.
