Brown bag lunch and learn series, Anita Arvast, topic true crime, fake news, sept. 27

Sept. 27, 2018 | noon to 1 p.m. |  Barrie Campus – room C259

Have you ever wondered if what you hear, read, watch in the news about a true crime is accurate? In this session, author and liberal arts professor, Anita Arvast, walked us through a few murder trials and discussed the portrayals of men convicted of murder and some of the reasons why we don’t get “the full story” when crimes and trials are reported.

This session was made available via Skype and by videoconferencing at the Orillia Campus.
