National News Literacy Week

The News Literacy Project and The E.W. Scripps Company are joining forces for National News Literacy Week, Jan. 27–31, 2020. This initiative will raise awareness of news literacy as a fundamental life skill through a national public awareness campaign, and will provide educators, students and the general public with easy-to-adopt tools and tips for becoming news-literate.
Scripps’ local television stations are working with schools in their markets on student-produced news reports, and its national media brands, including Newsy and Stitcher, will publish stories and run a national advertising campaign focused on the critical need for news literacy and the important role of a free press in a healthy democracy.
During National News Literacy Week, we’ll use this page to post links to resources related to a news literacy skill that aligns with a lesson from the Checkology® virtual classroom, NLP’s signature platform for students in middle school and high school. Come back daily, starting Jan. 27.
Here is the daily schedule of themes (and their related Checkology lessons):
  • Monday, Jan. 27: Navigating the information landscape (“InfoZones”).
  • Tuesday, Jan. 28: Identifying standards-based journalism (“Practicing Quality Journalism”).
  • Wednesday, Jan. 29: Understanding bias — your own and others’ (“Understanding Bias”).
  • Thursday, Jan. 30: Celebrating the role of a free press (“Democracy’s Watchdog”).
  • Friday, Jan. 31: Recognizing misinformation (“Misinformation”).
