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

 

For teens growing up in a world where algorithms drive social media feeds, and where a quick AI prompt can generate photos or videos that look real, it’s no surprise they question or doubt everything.

Join the News Literacy Project, The E.W. 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. Get involved: NewsLiteracyWeek.org
