Stephen Engelberg, editor-in-chief of ProPublica, will be the keynote speaker at a major conference next month at Fresno State on fake news and the media.

Fresno State’s Department of Media, Communications and Journalism, the College of Arts and Humanities and the Institute for Media and Public Trust will co-host the symposium. The Roger Tatarian Endowed Chair in Journalism was established in honor of the late Fresno State professor and former editor in chief of United Press International. The Roger Tatarian Symposium is held annually on campus.
