This edition of Science on Tap dives into the growing crisis of trust in the news. Together with Erasmus researcher Arne van Lienden, we'll explore why confidence in journalism has reached historic lows and what role social media, AI and representation in newsrooms play in shaping the information we see every day.
After the talk, there's plenty of room to ask questions, share perspectives and continue the conversation over a drink at OASE's Strandtent.
No prior knowledge is required, just curiosity and an openness to hear different viewpoints.

Arne van Lienden works as an assistant professor and researcher in Media & Journalism at the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication. His research centers around two central pillars: diversity and digitalization in media and journalism. Arne's research is characterized by using a critical lens to make sense of broader societal processes of inclusion and exclusion, often along the lines of race/ethnicity, sexuality and gender.
Science on Tap brings researchers and experts into a more relaxed setting for conversations that connect academic knowledge with everyday life. Over a drink, we tackle big questions, unpack complex topics and create space for curiosity, discussion and new ideas. Accessible, engaging and grounded in research, it's science beyond the lecture hall.
