X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Our media ecosystem today is increasingly 
 messy\, with a mix of professionally produced and user-generated content t
 hat often blurs together on platforms like YouTube\, Facebook\, and TikTok
 . The rapid rise of artificial intelligence has added yet another layer of
  complexity\, making it even easier for misleading or fabricated material 
 to appear credible.</p>\n<p>Dr. Michael A. Spikes\, of Northwestern Univer
 sity&rsquo\;s Medill School of Journalism\, explores how this blending of 
 sources&mdash\;and now AI-generated material&mdash\;creates a &ldquo\;blur
 ring of the lines&rdquo\; between types of content\, making it harder to k
 now what to trust. Attendees leave with practical skills for assessing the
  credibility of information from different outlets and strategies for buil
 ding a set of reliable sources to return to regularly.</p>\n<p>Join us on 
 Zoom or attend the event in person at<a href="https://www.schaumburglibrar
