🚨 If you're following Donald Trump's arraignment in NYC today, just remember:

⚠️ bad actors online use big breaking news stories to spread falsehoods by tugging at people's emotions

✔️ follow multiple standards-based news outlets to stick to the facts

#NewsLiteracy

Who is responsible?

❓ What new lessons must students learn given use of AI-generated misinformation?

⭐ In teams of 3-4, write a government policy about how AI-generated content should be used. Be sure to consider: creators of the AI, companies selling AI services, and those who create and distribute AI-generated content to deceive or harm others.

@edutooters

Hypothetically speaking, let's say you were going to talk to a bunch of undergrad science profs (90-minute workshop) about building science #InformationLiteracy & #NewsLiteracy into their classrooms, with tweaks they can make in each class and 1 stand-alone lesson.

Suspect my biggest contribution will be helping profs adopt a behavior-change mindset in planning classes-- but welcome other specific and creative ideas!

Will share out when ready so others can use!

THE BRO SHOW
S12 E05 – In News We Trust?

Other than family, what do meerkats need the most? Will news literacy tools help determine which news outlets to trust or will it be biased? And can democracy survive without such trust? This week’s 27 minute episode of The Bro Show will provide some answers! https://broshow.substack.com/p/s12-e05-in-news-we-trust

#BroShow #NewsLiteracy #AnimalLegalDefenseFund #Meerkats

On the new episode, Anand Giridharadas talks with us about persuasion & how noisy partisan news media builds cognitive & emotional shortcuts that make it harder for Americans to see that there are many things that we can agree on if we make the effort to listen to one another. #News #Democracy #NewsLiteracy

A story on some of the things we are doing to promote #NewsLiteracy at Penn Sate

"We think democracy depends on vibrant journalism that is independent of politics. Yet, our capacity to solve problems together is hindered by the amount of attention-grabbing and divisive noise that floods our media system.”

One wonders whether or not the author of this Vox opinion piece—or his editor and publisher at Vox would have written these same words if the U.S. Supreme Court Justices in question were men. (Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, are aged 68 and 62, respectively.)

"Sotomayor and Kagan need to think about retiring":
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23507944/supreme-court-sonia-sotomayor-elena-kagan-ruth-bader-ginsburg-retire

Really, really shoddy "journalism" from Vox.
