  • Topics & Takeaways (Part 2)

    With the COVID story, we're getting to see how science works under pressure and without information agency or discipline expertise, it can be hard to understand what's happening and see the downsides to peer review.
    In a way, we can identify the questions to ask about where media literacy should go next but not really the exact solutions.
    We need to recognize the social-ness of news and of research and it must be taken into consideration in the transformation of media literacy.
    If not everything is biased, how do we unpack that with students?
    Students relate to images and we can use examples from the report to discuss with them how the images impact the way they interpret news.
    While some faculty are single-source news viewers ("I only look at NPR"), students just don't engage in the media landscape that way.
    Reach out to Alison at [email protected] with how you are using the report in the classroom & how students are responding!
