The Pithy Take
The News Literacy Project, founded by a former journalist, is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that provides resources for the general public and educators to help them learn how to identify credible information. Its core belief is that news literacy is an essential life skill, especially because a free press is a cornerstone of democracy. It is an incredibly useful source, and most particularly needed in the age of incessant information.
They have an educator page, which includes an online learning platform, a free weekly newsletter, professional development opportunities, a variety of classroom materials and more. There are also tools for everyone, which includes an e-learning platform, an app, a new podcast, shareable tips, tools, quizzes and an annual news literacy event.
