My last post, The House that Covid Built, sparked plenty of conversations in our house about which news articles are true and helpful and which aren’t. We live in a time where anyone can produce and widely share a convincing video on a topic with zero editorial oversight. This means we all have to hone the skills to recognize quality information, which is no easy task — especially for kids. And with schools starved for funding to teach basic reading and math skills, media literacy education falls by the wayside. Enter the News Literacy Project (NLP). They are a national nonpartisan nonprofit that guides students in knowing what to trust in the digital age.
