News Literacy in a Climate of Disinformation and Election Interference

News literacy is vital to American democracy. This program will focus on teaching all generations how to sift through news and disinformation to become well informed and ready to act. The program will discuss how people are wrestling with this issue, as well as discuss tools we can use in order to effectively deal with the circumstances surrounding news literacy. As we enter the 2020 election cycle, you won't want to miss this program!
