Podcasts about news literacy

Today we are at the Newseum in Washington D.C. – where the history of free expression is explained and defended. 今天，我们在华盛顿特区的Newseum - 解释和捍卫自由表达的历史。 The first printing presses arrived in the United States in the mid-1600s, marking an important step in the history of America's free press. 第一批印刷机于1600年代中期到达美国，这标志着美国自由出版社历史上的重要一步。 A free press is important in democratic society. It allows citizens to speak freely and criticize the country's leaders without fear. Some journalists have even lost their lives for that right. 自由媒体在民主社会中很重要。 它使公民可以自由讲话，并批评该国的领导人而毫不恐惧。 一些记者甚至因这项权利而丧生。 But, it can also lead to news that is false. Last year, a fake news story about a Washington pizza restaurant went viral, causing a gunman to open fire at the business. 但是，这也可能导致新闻是错误的。 去年，一个关于华盛顿披萨餐厅的虚假新闻传播开来，导致枪手在业务上开火。 One of the most common terms we hear today is “fake news.” The public and politicians use it to talk about the news reports they do not think are accurate. 我们今天听到的最常见的术语之一是“假新闻”。 公众和政客们用它来谈论他们认为不准确的新闻报道。 While people have paid much attention to the term in recent years, the problem is not new. False news reports have been around since modern journalism started. 尽管人们近年来对该术语非常关注，但问题并不是什么新鲜事。 自现代新闻业开始以来，虚假的新闻报道就已经存在。 Today, information moves around us in many forms, every hour of every day. Even if we do not seek out news on our own, we often receive it anyway, instantly, on our phones. 今天，信息以多种形式（每天的每小时）以多种形式转移。 即使我们不独自寻找新闻，我们还是经常在手机上立即收到它。 So how can we manage this mountain of information so that fake news does not mislead us? 那么，我们如何管理这一信息，以免假新闻误导我们呢？ We believe this requires news literacy. News literacy is the ability to use critical thinking skills to judge news reports. Are they credible? Can you rely on the reports to be true? 我们相信这需要新闻素养。 新闻素养是使用批判性思维技能来评判新闻报道的能力。 他们可信吗？ 您可以依靠报告是真的吗？ We use real media examples to teach useful skills and methods to recognize journalism over other kinds of information. We examine the differences between facts and what people report in the media as truth. 我们使用真实的媒体示例教授有用的技能和方法，以识别新闻界对其他信息。 我们研究事实与人们在媒体中报道的事实之间的差异。 The course provides tools to identify real and reliable news sources. And, it demonstrates ways to separate news from opinion. 该课程提供了确定真实可靠的新闻来源的工具。 而且，它展示了将新闻与意见分开的方法。 Professors at Stony Brook University in New York created the News Literacy education program. We will share it with you in simple English on VOA Learning English. 纽约Stony Brook大学的教授创建了新闻识字教育计划。 我们将以简单的英语在VOA学习英语中与您分享。 The need for news literacy is possibly greater now than ever before. Learning this important skill can give us the power to take full control of our own search for the truth. 现在，对新闻素养的需求可能比以往任何时候都更大。 学习这种重要技能可以使我们能够完全控制自己对真理的搜索。 Because as we've seen many times before, some news presented as truth can actually turn out to be completely false. 因为正如我们以前见过的很多次，所以一些作为真理的消息实际上可能完全是错误的。

In this episode, Brittney Smith from the News Literacy Project discusses the importance of news and information literacy in today's digital age. She emphasizes the need for students to critically evaluate the credibility of information and understand the role of journalism in the information sharing process. Brittney highlights strategies like pausing before sharing, lateral reading, and training social media algorithms to filter credible content. She also discusses the differences between misinformation and disinformation, as well as the impact of artificial intelligence on news literacy. The News Literacy Project offers various free resources, including their Checkology interactive lessons, SIFT educator publication, and RumorGuard platform, to help educators effectively teach these skills.

Welcome to In Reality, the podcast about truth, disinformation and the media with Eric Schurenberg, a long time journalist and media executive, now the founder of the Alliance for Trust in Media. There are two ways to fight misinformation: One is to debunk falsehoods after they have surfaced. The other is to help create media literate news audiences, who can recognize false claims before they take root. Debunking, necessary though it is, inevitably hands the initiative to manipulators and propagandists. Media literacy, on the other hand, helps news consumers debunk their own news feed. It simply scales better. Today's guest has spent the past decade and a half engaged in the media literacy cause. A former educator, Peter Adams is the research director of the News Literacy Project, a 15-year-old non-profit that trains middle-school and high-school teachers to impart the media literacy and critical thinking skills their students need to navigate today's incredibly challenging information ecosystem. Peter and Eric discuss the penetration of news literacy training in school systems, how to deal with bias in news sources, the impact of collapsing media business models on the news environment, and the responsibility of news consumers to curate their own media diet. TopicsOrigin Story of the News Literacy ProjectRole of the Research and Design TeamPenetration of NLP's Curriculum in School SystemsDefinition of News Literacy and Its ComponentsEvaluation of Non-Traditional Sources of NewsUnderstanding Bias in News CoverageChallenges Faced by Mainstream MediaPolitical Bias in News CoverageImpact of Changing Business Models on News CoverageAddressing Partisan Bias in News Literacy EducationResponsibility of News Consumers in Curating a Healthy News DietDiscovering News Outside of Filter BubblesPeter Adams' News SourcesOverview of NLP's Products and ResourcesWebsitewww.in-reality.fmProduced by Sound Sapiensoundsapien.com

In which Dan talks media literacy--the skills needed to responsibly decode, assess, and create media--with Tim Krueger, a Social Studies teacher in Syracuse, New York, and someone who's been doing a ton of thinking and teaching about this essential topic. The proliferation of information, misinformation, and disinformation (especially as we enter an election year), all super charged by social media, partisan divides and, now, artificial intelligence, makes now the perfect time for teachers to dive into media literacy.Mentioned in the episode:Verified: How to Think Straight, Get Duped Less, and Make Better Decisions about What to Believe Online by Mike Caulfield and Sam Wineburg"Internet at School Is Changing Work of Students--and Teachers", Washington Post, Sept, 2000Media Literacy Now, an advocacy group calling for states to mandate media literacy curriculumNews Literacy Project provides a rich bank of resources and learning platforms for teachers at all grade levelsHow to Teach Media and News Literacy with Ebonee Rice, What's the Big Idea?, Nov, 2021 Adfontes Media Bias Chart - an incredible visual tool for exploring media outlets "When Teens Find Misinformation, These Teachers Are Ready" (featuring Tim Krueger), NY Times, Sept 2022"Elections and Disinformation Are Colliding Like Never Before in 2024", NY Times, Jan 2024"Fake Joe Biden robocall tells New Hampshire Democrats not to vote Tuesday", NBC News, Jan 2024Music by Ruben Ramos

This report fills a gap in our understanding of how teens actually use their smartphones, combining data from kids' phones themselves with feedback from our Youth Advisory Council. And they told us that the draw of their smartphone is both complicated and powerful. Here's what else we learned from this report:Teens are fielding a barrage of notifications from the apps on their phones. On a typical day, participants received a median of 237 notifications. Of those, about a quarter arrived during the school day, and 5% at night.   School phone use is common, and policies are inconsistent. During school hours almost all of the participants used their phones at least once, for a median of 43 minutes. But they also reported that policies about phone use in schools vary—sometimes even from classroom to classroom—and aren't always enforced.   Smartphones both help and hurt sleep. Over half of participants used their phones on school nights, often to listen to music to wind down or get to sleep. But sometimes their days are so busy that they only get to relax with their phone at bedtime, and that pushes sleep later.  The good news is, many young people reported they have grown savvier about their phone's attempts to draw them in, and they're taking steps to protect their digital wellbeing, like setting time limits and prioritizing certain types of notifications. But the business model of these apps and devices hinges upon young people picking up their phones and engaging with them as much as possible, and it's clear that teens are struggling to set boundaries. Research like this helps shed light on what young people are really doing on their phones, and allows families, educators, and leaders to better understand where and when to provide support. But the industry can take steps to recognize that young people need to be able to use their phones for all of their important benefits but without the challenges that negative content, persuasive design, and aggressive business models pose to digital well-being. News Literacy in a time of AI - AI can be used to create videos, images, text that can easily fool you if you're not on top of it. The News Literacy Project - https://newslit.org/  - is doing amazing work in this space, and I'm excited to highlight their offerings for our listeners this year.    13:01 - Larry's # 2 - Academic Recovery/Accelerated Learning - Accelerated learning may sound like a method for speeding through lessons to cover everything students didn't learn in previous grades. It's not. Accelerated learning does not look back. It moves kids forward to tackle grade-level content, providing them with help when they need it. It's not “just-in-case” remediation. It's “just-in-time” scaffolding.   Techniques: https://www.hmhco.com/blog/accelerated-learning-techniques-for-the-classroom  High Impact Tutoring: https://annenberg.brown.edu/sites/default/files/EdResearch_for_Recovery_Design_Principles_1.pdf   15:25 - Consensus #1 - Artificial Intelligence - We've stepped on the gas instead of hitting the brakes. Stanford Graduate School of Education Dean Daniel Schwartz in his opening remarks. “I want to emphasize that a lot of AI is also going to automate really bad ways of teaching.

In today's episode we speak with Emily Hund, author of The Influencer Industry: The Quest for Authenticity on Social Media, about the evolution of social media influencers and how disparate events like rapid advances in technology and the decline of traditional news outlets have boosted their prevalence and impact since their emergence during the Great Recession.These authentic-seeming people whose lives unfold online provide advice many social media users have come to follow as closely as they would that of a trusted friend. And yet, many of them aren't credentialed or especially qualified to provide even the most basic of recommendations."Their expertise is their authenticity," said Hund. "So that's what this all really comes down to. It's the thing that keeps this industry growing and thriving and changing. These people are able to construct their public personas as someone who's credible, someone who's believable because they're authentic."Hund is also a research affiliate at the center on Digital Culture at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communication. Tune in to hear her insights about how influencers came to dominate our social media feeds and how much we can trust the authenticity they've staked their livelihoods on.Is that a fact? is a production of the News Literacy Project, a nonpartisan education nonprofit building a national movement to create a more news-literate America.

Things have been heating up — literally — since Sabrina Shankman, our latest podcast guest, began covering climate change a decade ago. The scientific community has presented indisputable evidence that climate change is the result of carbon emissions from human activity. News organizations have committed more resources to covering the complex topic. And climate deniers and the misinformation they spread have evolved along with the conversation.Shankman, who covers climate change at The Boston Globe, addresses these topics and more in this podcast episode.The science proving climate change is real has been around for decades, but it's taken society and the news media a while to catch up. But with wildfires, flooding, and other extreme weather events on the rise, the climate crisis has come knocking on our doors.“When I was first a climate change reporter, I was covering the Arctic because it was a way to tell the story of climate change in the place where it was happening. Now, I can tell the story in Boston because it's happening in Boston, it's happening everywhere."But as with any global issue that impacts economies, governments and society, misinformation and disinformation are part of the story. Getting reliable information from credible sources is key.“You need to be interrogating the information that you're receiving. You have to say, ‘Okay, well maybe this information seems valid, but it's coming with a perspective. What are some other perspectives?'”Listen in to find out why climate change isn't just a big story, it's the story.Additional reading:‘Nothing like this has ever happened before': The world's oceans are at record-high temps, The Boston Globe, Sabrina ShankmanMass Die-Off of Puffins Raises More Fears About Arctic's Warming Climate, Inside Climate News, Sabrina ShankmanFumes in South Portland, Inside Climate News, Sabrina ShankmanIs that a fact? is a production of the News Literacy Project, a nonpartisan education nonprofit building a national movement to create a more news-literate America.

In an age of social media, 24-hour cable news, and constant online battles about what is real or "fake" news, it is harder than ever to know what outlets to trust. With so much information available, and the debates of a network's responsibility for responsible reporting recently entering the courtroom, having the tools to evaluate media are becoming ever-more essential. Heartland Community College professor of communication and new media Karla Huffman discusses the subject of news literacy.

This episode of “Is that a Fact?” is part two of a two-part episode marking the 10th anniversary of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on Dec. 14, 2012, when a gunman murdered 20 first graders and six adults. If you haven't listened to part one, in which we interview New York Times feature writer and author of the book, Sandy Hook: An American Tragedy and the Battle for Truth, we highly recommend that you do that first. In part two, we speak with Lenny Pozner, father of Noah, the youngest victim at Sandy Hook. Pozner knew early on that the hoaxers' movement would be widespread, lasting and harmful. So, he chose to fight back on behalf of his child and other victims. “Noah's story will always need to be told because there'll always be someone misusing it,” he said. “I knew that I needed to do everything that I'm able to do to help debunk, to help clarify, to tell my story as best as I can, which really is just telling Noah's story.” Over the two episodes we explore the aftermath of Sandy Hook and how what seemed an aberration of untruths would instead be a bellwether for a shift in the country's public discourse, where conspiracy theories are a common element of tragic events. We also discuss how victims' families have fought back against the lies and harassment and brought about lasting change.Additional Reading:HONR Network

This episode of “Is that a Fact?” is part one of a two-part episode marking the 10th anniversary of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on Dec. 14, 2012, when a gunman murdered 20 first graders and six adults. Soon after, conspiracy theories calling the massacre a hoax emerged. And they have persisted for a decade, thanks to amplification and profiteering by alt-Right media figure Alex Jones. Over the two episodes we explore the aftermath of Sandy Hook and how what seemed an aberration of untruths would instead be a bellwether for a shift in the country's public discourse, where conspiracy theories are a common element of tragic events. We also discuss how victims' families have fought back against the lies and harassment and brought about lasting change. In part one, Elizabeth Williamson, New York Times feature writer and author of the book, Sandy Hook: An American Tragedy and the Battle for Truth, explains the incomprehensible need to deny reality and the lucrative market that exploits people's vulnerability. “He is a sort of Typhoid Mary of the Sandy Hook hoax,” Williamson said of Jones, noting he “has been there at every stop along our descent as a nation down the rabbit hole.”Additional Reading: Elizabeth Williamson author page on NYTimes.comSandy Hook: An American Tragedy and the Battle for TruthElizabeth Williamson on Twitter

Our students can access information on any topic in seconds, so we need to build their media and news literacy. In this episode, I talk with Common Sense Education's Kelly Mendoza about their Digital Citizenship curriculum, with a special focus on the media and news literacy component, walking through three sample lessons you can try in your own classroom. ------------------- Thanks to Fearless Schools and Google's Applied Digital Skills for sponsoring this episode. -------------------

In this episode, we set out to explore whether false narratives about the pandemic and the COVID-19 vaccines have overshadowed science or whether science has managed to hold its own, particularly in light of the politicization of the pandemic.Politics has certainly influenced who has chosen to get vaccinated. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, “there continue to be differences in COVID-19 vaccination rates along partisan lines, a gap that has grown over time.” The Kaiser study showed that almost 53 percent of people who live in counties that voted for Biden were fully vaccinated compared to nearly 40 percent of people in counties that went to Trump. To better understand why people continue to reject overwhelming scientific evidence supporting the safety of the vaccines when compared to the dangers posed by the virus, we spoke to three people to learn more about the false narratives surrounding COVID-19 and the vaccines. Our first guest is Dr. Katherine J. Wu, a staff writer for The Atlantic who has a PhD in microbiology and immunobiology from Harvard University and has covered many different aspects of the coronavirus since the pandemic began. She tells us that when there is a crisis like this pandemic, it's not unusual for misinformation to follow and spread confusion.Our second guest is Texas resident Tony Green, a Republican voter who has written about his first-hand experience with COVID-19. In June 2020, Green and his partner invited six family members to spend the weekend at their home in Dallas. At the time, Green was still referring to the pandemic as a “scamdemic” — wildly blown out of proportion. But over the course of that weekend, he developed symptoms of COVID-19 that would eventually land him and some his extended family in the hospital. In all, the virus spread to 14 members of his family and took the lives of two of them. (Starts at 18:25).Our third and final guest is U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy who tells us why he issued his “Confronting Health Misinformation” advisory and a special toolkit to help people learn how to navigate their way through all the false and misleading information not just about the virus and vaccines, but about all kinds of health-related topics.

For the second season of Is that a fact?, we're exploring the origins of false narratives and the harm they have caused. We know that sharing misinformation is misleading and leaves people poorly informed, but we wanted to go deeper and explore how fictional information starts and then bubbles to the surface to misdirect the country's civic and cultural discourse.For our first episode of the season, we take a look back at the myths that surround the September 11 attacks as the 20th anniversary of that day approaches. One of the core drivers of 9/11 misinformation was the film Loose Change, which our first guest, Esquire magazine correspondent John McDermott tells us, “remains probably the single most popular piece of conspiracy media ever created.” He explains how the film started a movement of conspiracy theorists that planted the seeds for today's Qanon believers. Our second guest, James Meigs, former Popular Mechanics editor-in-chief, discusses how his team of journalists debunked many of the myths propagated by Loose Change even before the film came out. “What was really powerful about Loose Change wasn't the specific claim,” said Meigs. “It was the overall mood of the film making… It had really cool music. It had all this slow motion. It had this very compelling narration, even if a lot of it didn't make a lot of sense. It was quite powerful to watch.”Our final guest is Ann Van Hine whose husband was a firefighter killed the day of the terrorist attacks explained dealing with the anniversary in personal terms and explains what it's like to come face to face with so-called Truthers while working as a docent at the 9/11 Tribute Museum.Is that a fact? is brought to you by the nonpartisan, non-profit News Literacy Project.

In this week's MEMA, let's revisit the political economy of media and how this communication theory can help us understand how it works and how it covers and reports.

As part of National News Literacy Week, we're talking about our efforts and those of our parent company Scripps to create an equitable, diverse and inclusive workplace that reflects the communities where we live. How does that play into news assignments? Joining Danita to discuss are News 5 anchor/reporter Mike Brookbank, executive producer for investigations Mark Ackerman, assignment editor Helen Maynard and digital director Joe Donatelli.

M & J discuss science communication with Howard Schneider, dean of the school of journalism at SUNY Stonybrook and former editor of Newsday. A guest at previous skeptic events, including the first annual Northeast Conference on Science and Skepticism, Schneider has argued in the past that skeptics lay too much blame at the feet of the media for public misunderstandings and misconceptions about science. Julia and Massimo question him on this point, and ask him for his thoughts on what *can* be done to improve scientific literacy. As the founder of the Center for News Literacy and the Center for Communicating Science, Schneider has plenty of thoughts to share -- including making scientists take improv classes. Should science communication involve more storytelling? And is there any way to take advantage of new, online media formats to remedy some of the weak points in the science communication process? Sped up the speakers by ['1.13', '1.0', '1.02']

Our guest this week is Jennifer Kavanagh, a senior political scientist at RAND corporation, a nonprofit global public policy think tank. Our host spoke to Kavanagh about a phenomenon she and her colleagues have dubbed “Truth Decay.” We wanted to know why truth has been under assault in recent years, why Americans are increasingly rejecting the expertise of institutions we used to hold in high esteem and what we can do about it? Kavanagh is the director of the Strategy, Doctrine, and Resources Program in the RAND Arroyo Center and a senior political scientist at the RAND Corporation.

Our guest this week is Gilbert Bailon, the editor-in-chief of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Our host spoke to Bailon about the importance of local news to American democracy. Local news organizations have been gutted in recent years, leaving communities across the country with little to no coverage and stripping them of their watchdogs. What are the consequences for American democracy and why should everyday Americans care? Bailon joined the Post-Dispatch as editorial page editor in 2007 and then in 2012, became the paper’s editor. Before that, he was executive director of the Dallas Morning News and the founding editor and publisher of Al Dia, a daily Spanish-language newspaper owned by the Dallas Morning News. He has served as president of the American Society of News Editors, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, and Unity Journalists of Color. By some estimates, 1,300 communities across the country now have no local news outlet at all, leaving them with no independent oversight of local government and corporate activities. Some cities, such as Pittsburgh, New Orleans and Youngstown lost their daily newspapers, while some papers like the Cleveland Plain Dealer, that used to provide award-winning, robust local coverage, are now operating on a shoestring with reduced staffs.

The Coronavirus pandemic enters a new month and the Sunday talk shows focused on familiar subtopics, including the public health responses and economic pains of Americans and state governments. The Sunday shows also discussed the scientific breakthroughs in treating this virus. After many weeks of only COVID-19-centric episodes, most shows, at least for one segment, also discussed the presidential election. Today on Polilogue, we explore the value of nuance in understating states that choose to reopen, the benefits of seeing the long-view COVID-19 picture, and why the Tara Reade allegation— at this point in time— is not as complicated of a story that most people are making it out to be.

On this episode of The Open Mind, we're delighted to welcome Alan Miller, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, founder and CEO of the News Literacy Project. Miller was a reporter at the LA Times for 21 years before leaving in March 2008 to establish NLP. He spent nearly 19 years in the Times Washington bureau, the last 14 as a charter member of its high profile investigative team. As we experienced the realities, the hemorrhaging of the digital ecosystem, we've covered the misinformation crisis here in our ongoing quest for solutions, and now we presume that all important exchange: what news is real, trustworthy and verifiable. What analysis and opinion are conducive to advancing that trust? Miller points out in a recent Washington Post interview, “Not all information is equal and some actually isn't information. It's not seeking to inform.” The News Literacy project is a national education nonprofit working with educators and journalists to equip students and middle school and high school with the tools to discern fact from fiction in the digital age.

Classroom 2.0 LIVE webinar, "News Media" with special guest presenter Tiffany Whitehead. November 11, 2017 We are thrilled to welcome Tiffany Whitehead, librarian extraordinaire, as our special guest presenter to share her insights and resources on helping students understand news literacy! Librarians play such an important role as the educational hub in our schools and there is so much we can learn from them. This is perfect timing as we celebrate Media Literacy week, Nov. 6-10, 2017. Media Literacy is the ability to ACCESS, ANALYZE, EVALUATE, COMMUNICATE and CREATE using all forms of communication. The mission of Media Literacy Week is to highlight the power of media literacy education and its essential role in education today. Webinar Description: News Literacy: Teaching students to be discerning in a world of fake news, clickbait, and extreme bias Teaching news literacy is more necessary and challenging than ever in a world where news is delivered at a constant pace from a broad range of sources. Since social media and filter bubbles can make it challenging to access unbiased, factual information, we must equip students to be critical as they access news sources for a variety of purposes. This lecture-style session will give an overview of the phenomenon of fake news going viral and tools educators can use to help students develop news literacy skills.

The studious eighth grader and I are sitting in a tiny, colorful classroom at Norwood-Fontbonne Academy, a small private elementary school in the tree-lined Philadelphia suburbs, which also happens to be my alma mater. In most ways, Norwood feels a lot like I left it nearly 20 years ago.
