In today’s fast-paced digital world, social media is a powerful tool for shaping narratives, spreading information, and influencing public opinion. In the wake of October 7, however, it has also become a battleground for misinformation, divisive rhetoric, anti-Israel sentiment, and rising antisemitism.
To help learn how to navigate today’s digital world, the Jewish Community Relations Council of the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater, Simon Family JCC, and community partners, will present a discussion with Amy Albertson, a social media coach and Jewish activist, as part of the 14th annual Israel Today series.
For many, social media can be overwhelming, creating uncertainty on how to engage or respond. With content spreading rapidly through algorithms, echo chambers, and viral posts, it is essential to understand how to critically assess all information.
Albertson will guide the audience on how to have meaningful conversations, stand up against misinformation, and ensure that digital activism does not come at the cost of mental health. Whether a social media user looking for guidance, an advocate for digital responsibility, or simply interested in understanding today’s complex online landscape, this event offers valuable perspectives for all.
