Welcome to the News Literacy community! You’re taking an important step towards equipping your students with 21st-century skills, and we at the News Literacy Project are excited to support you along the way. News-literate students think for themselves, assess the quality of information they are consuming and are prepared to actively participate in civic life. They can distinguish between news and opinion, original social media accounts and branded content, and genuine video and AI-generated deepfakes. These skills are more important than ever.
As part of this professional learning community, you’ll receive free tools to begin or enhance your teaching of critical thinking skills. Learn best practices, find classroom ideas and stay up to date on news literacy topics. Whether you are a classroom teacher, librarian, administrator, or education professional, you have a role to play in developing future-ready students.
