Media Literacy & Democracy: An Essential Partnership

A healthy democracy requires that its citizens have access to reliable information and the skills to analyze and evaluate that information. This webinar will explore different ways in which media literacy and democracy intersect. Moderated by NAMLE’s Executive Director, the discussion will include how election officials are navigating false information about elections, how different types of media ecosystems impact youth, and how a local effort in New York State is working to help students become democracy ready through media literacy skill building.
