The Dallas Express investigative reporter Carlos Turcios will speak Friday at Moms for Liberty’s National Summit in Dallas on the cultural influence of media and investigative reporting.
Turcios will join Tiffany Marie Brannon, Alex Stein, Lydia Shaffer and Angela Belcamino for the panel, “Beyond the Ballot Box: The Power of Cultural Influence,” from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. on October 9, according to the summit schedule.
Reporting and cultural influence
The panel will examine how investigative reporting, political commentary and independent media can bring overlooked issues into the public conversation and influence political and cultural debates, according to the session description.
“Political outcomes are shaped long before Election Day—by the stories uncovered, the questions asked, and the narratives that take hold.” Moms for Liberty states in its description of the panel.
The organization says panelists will discuss research, reporting, commentary and firsthand storytelling, along with methods for reaching audiences outside traditional media.
“Panelists will discuss breaking through traditional media gatekeepers, building credibility with an audience, and using digital platforms to inform and engage the public—demonstrating how uncovering the right story can influence the conversations happening far beyond the ballot box.” the panel description states.
Summit comes to downtown Dallas
Moms for Liberty’s fifth annual National Summit will run from October 8 through October 11 at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel in downtown Dallas.
The organization describes the National Summit as a gathering of parents, teachers, grassroots leaders and advocates focused on parental rights and education. The summit includes keynote events, breakout sessions and training programs.
Moms for Liberty says attendees will hear from national leaders on education, parental rights and the country’s founding principles.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, Turcios covered Moms for Liberty members’ support for revised Texas social studies standards, including comments from Harris County chapter chair Denise Bell.
The organization describes its mission as unifying, educating and empowering parents to defend parental rights at all levels of government.
