February 2nd - 6th is National News Literacy Week

 In the age of AI, it’s not easy to know what to believe. This National News Literacy Week, let’s restore trust in standards-based news and embrace a healthy skepticism (not cynicism) by helping young people stay grounded with facts.

The time for News Literacy is NOW - News Literacy Week!

Scripps Company, USA Today and USA Today Network for National #NewsLiteracyWeek Feb. 2-6 and help empower young people to more skillfully judge for themselves what information to trust, believe, share and base decisions on.
