SPJ Colorado Pro presents ‘Trusted Sources,’ a film about finding trustworthy news in a sea of deception

Trustworthy news has become a scarce resource. It’s being replaced by a flood of agenda-driven content disguised as news.

Trusted Sources, a new documentary film by Don Colacino featuring Colorado journalists, shows how we got here, how to find trustworthy news, and how to protect good journalism. (Watch the trailer here.)

Join the Society of Professional Journalists, Colorado Pro Chapter, on Thursday, September 26, for a special screening of “Trusted Sources” at the Denver Press Club. You’ll see how news became so sensationalized, the professional standards that good journalists are held to, and where to find news that lives up to those standards.

Following the screening, a panel discussion will feature filmmaker Colacino and two Colorado journalists who appear in the film: Nina Joss, reporter for Colorado Community Media, and Thelma Grimes, deputy editor of Colorado Politics. The panel will be moderated by Corey Hutchins, an SPJ Colorado Pro board member and co-director of the Journalism Institute at Colorado College.

The screening is $10, but SPJ Colorado Pro members will be reimbursed. The Denver Press Club is at 1330 Glenarm Place. Paid and street parking available. Doors open 5:30 p.m., screening at 6 p.m., discussion to follow. Register here.
