Overview of Programs:
For Educators
Checkology®
Newsroom to
Classroom
Our free Checkology virtual classroom
empowers educators to teach middle
and high school students how to identify
credible information, seek out reliable
sources, and know what to trust, what
to dismiss and what to debunk.
The Newsroom to Classroom program connects teachers
with vetted journalist volunteers who visit classrooms either
in person or virtually to share their news literacy knowledge
and expertise. These sessions are designed to demystify the
practice of quality journalism and develop an appreciation
of the vital role a free press plays in a robust democracy.
