The event is hosted by CIPR Wessex and led by its new chair, Vicky Ryce, managing director of Hampshire-based Let’s Talk Communications.
Ms Ryce said: "Trust in media and communications is under increasing pressure, and both journalists and PR professionals have a shared responsibility to uphold standards.
"This panel brings together perspectives from across journalism, in-house and agency communications and academia to have an open and practical discussion about how we improve transparency, strengthen verification and rebuild confidence in the information people rely on."
