What is “fake news”? You hear the phrase every day, but do you know what it means? Is “fake news” new, or has it been around for a long time? Why do people believe “fake news,” and why does it spread the way it does? Is there anything we can or should do to limit or stop the spread of “fake news”? Together, we’ll explore these questions.

Sponsored by OSU School of Communication and OSU University Libraries.

Communities throughout Ohio are increasingly being affected by drug addiction. The current regime of the “War on Drugs” has done nothing to help those who are struggling with drug addiction and instead has only led to mass incarceration.

Issue 1 provides a solution for Ohioans that focuses on treatment and rehabilitation instead of prison sentences for low-level, nonviolent users.

Issue 1 is the compassionate, just solution that we need to support and strengthen our communities.
