Several weeks ago, I received an email from Jean Pierce.

The email discussed how Jean was planning an interfaith International Day of Peace celebration from 1 to 5 p.m. today on the courthouse lawn along Third Street in Geneva.

Jean wrote that the event would address civil, honest communication in an election year, and she wanted to know whether I would like to join a panel discussion that will focus on the media’s role in election rhetoric. The information she included in her email noted the name of the panel presentation would be “How Can Voters Find The Truth In Media In An Election Year?”
