News literacy as a skill: What is it, and why do we need it?

The news comes at us fast and furious, and it's not always easy to know where to get information that is unbiased and factful (yes, fact"ful"). I'll provide tips on how to evaluate the bias and reliability of the media you consume (websites, podcasts, YouTube, TV, etc.) to help you to become a savvy media consumer.

The importance of news literacy in an era of hyperpolarized media

News literacy is really about critical thinking, and the Media Bias Chart® is a useful tool to help you think critically about the media you consume. This program can be tailored for educators and librarians teaching students how to navigate the media landscape, or for local civics and community groups who want to make sure the news they read and share is reliable and unbiased.

Junk news is like junk food: Maintaining a healthy news diet

We love junk food and we love junk news. And they are both wreaking havoc on our individual and collective physical and mental health, and having detrimental effects on our whole society. Find out how to maintain a healthy news diet and how to avoid junk news (like junk food, it can be so satisfying, but consuming too much of it is bad for your health).
