SUMMARY:Arizona's Great Escape
DESCRIPTION:During the night of Christmas Eve in 1944\, twenty-five Nazi German prisoners of war escaped from Papago Park POW camp on the outskirts of Phoenix and headed towards Mexico. These men were hardcore Nazis\, ex U-boat commanders\, and submariners\, who had successfully dug a nearly 200-foot underground tunnel that took four months to complete. Many people may have heard of this event\, but few know the details. This presentation tells the story of what happened to these German POWs and the Arizona residents who encountered them. \nSteve Renzi\, a University of Arizona graduate with a degree in history\, believes that every generation must learn about who and what came before them or else the lessons learned are lost. As a writer and photographer with a teacher’s certificate in secondary education\, Renzi is always searching for new ways of exploring our history. He has been published in over 200 magazine and newspaper articles and is currently a writing and photography teacher\, as well as a basketball coach.

SUMMARY:"Fake News”: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Jamie Bowen\, Arizona State University\, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication \nAlthough not new\, our awareness and use of the term “fake news” has risen in prominence. In general\, “fake news” is media that consists of deliberate misinformation\, news whose main purpose is to distort “the truth for emotional persuasion\, seeking to drive action.”  More recently it has become a catchall term used to discredit stories\, and in the political arena to influence the political process and elections.  With social media\, fake news can reach a large audience with little cost.  How can we tell what is fake news and what is real news? What is the impact of “fake news”?  How does “fake news” affect public opinion and civic engagement? How do we balance the benefits of free speech against the burden of propaganda? Join us for a lively FRANK Talk about “fake news\,” free speech and journalism today.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Talking to Each Other About Controversies Now - Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Talking to Each Other About Controversies Now\nMatt Kundert\, University of Arizona\, Department of English \nCurrent social controversies reflect our nation’s complex history\, politics and values. Our views can differ sharply on whether or not America has changed for the better\, or for the worse. We can point to specific cultural and technological developments that have made it difficult to feel part of one country.  Media can shape our sense of inclusion and exclusion\, what is true and false\, what connects us and divides us. But democracy is based on hope\, the hope that we might solve our problems by talking to each other.  How should we approach each other today?  How do we balance respect for the people around us\, and our common humanity\, against suspicion and fear in the face of ideological differences?  How do we keep the conversation going about difficult political and social events? How can we listen to\, and learn from\, experiences and opinions different from our own?  Join us for a FRANK Talk exploring the skills and attitudes of citizenship and conversability.
