Celebrate facts with Poynter and PolitiFact at our second annual United Facts of America, starting today. Tickets are still available! Register to join us here.

Here are just a few of the conversations we're looking forward to:

🇺🇸 Legendary “PBS NewsHour” journalist Judy Woodruff will speak on the fast-approaching U.S. midterm elections, give highlights from her career (as one of the first two women to anchor a national news broadcast), and explain what she plans to do after she leaves the anchor seat at the end of the year.

💰 Former Fox News political editor Chris Stirewalt will share his perspective on news organizations and the temptation of “rage revenue” through slanted coverage, which drives political division and rewards outrageous conduct.

📲 CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan will discuss online disinformation campaigns targeting the American electorate, and how social media platforms, Congress and the American intelligence community are responding to the threat of disinformation and troll campaigns.
