Future generations will be at a signiocant
civic disadvantage if they are not prepared
to discern fact from oction. This lack of
media literacy skills puts the future of our
democratic system at risk.
While the need for news literacy
instruction is being recognized by
some education leaders across
the country, the media literacy oeld
in practice lacks deonition, which
prevents the subject from being
elevated to the level of core subjects
like math, science and English.
TheSolution
To expand the teaching of news
literacy on a national scale, NLP will
lead the validation of news literacy
as a subject worthy of the attention
and investment that other core
subjects receive.
Being news-literate can
contribute to how you9re thinking
in real-life situations. I have
learned so much from my
experience with news literacy
education through Checkology.
