PORT ANGELES — Peninsula College English faculty member Mark Valentine will present “The Climate-Disrupted Culture: Media in the Mess-Age” on Thursday.
The free lecture, a part of the Studium Generale series, will be at 12:35 p.m. in the Little Theater at the campus at 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles.
It will serve as a prequel to 2016 Writer in Residence Dahr Jamail’s Studium presentation set for April 28, “Living on a Climate-Disrupted Planet.”
Valentine will talk about public relations and propaganda. He will discuss the media and a memo calling for the creation of think tanks to inflate or deflate issues.
He also will talk about handling and mishandling of climate data coverage.
His presentation, he said, will focus on answering what is the problem, what is the solution and what is the plan for action.
