How can we determine whether sources are credible? The News Literacy Project is offering a free webinar series to help you successfully navigate the crowded and rapidly changing information landscape.

April 12, 19 and 26 | 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT. Register once to access all three sessions.

Session 1 | April 12: What is quality journalism?

News outlets help us make informed decisions as engaged citizens in a democracy, but the process of creating the news isn’t always transparent. This session will pull the curtain back on how quality, ethical journalism is done and how it seeks to inform us fairly and accurately.

Journalists Brandon Pope of WBEZ and Molly Parker of Lee Enterprises will discuss their work to build credibility and trust with the public and the standards that guide the newsgathering processes.

Session 2 | April 19: Understanding news media bias

People frequently perceive and allege bias in news coverage, but what does this really mean? What makes a piece of news biased, and who decides? This session will empower you to evaluate the fairness, accuracy and impartiality of news coverage.

Journalists Amethyst J. Davis of the Harvey World Herald and Stephanie Casanova of Signal Cleveland will join us to talk about how the journalistic standards we learned about in Session 1 can be applied to confront and avoid bias in news reporting.

Session 3 | April 26: How fact-checking works

With the digital deluge of misinformation, it’s getting more difficult to know what to trust. A number of fact-checking organizations have emerged and are taking up the charge to combat the spread of misinformation. These fact-checking platforms have debunked some of the most viral images and videos springing up on social media.

Fact-checkers Dan Evon of the News Literacy Project’s RumorGuard™ platform and Rafael Olavarria of Factchequeado will talk about their work and share skills you can use to check the accuracy of information.
