SUMMARY:Countering Information Manipulation: A Social Change Approach
DESCRIPTION:Propaganda and disinformation are polluting our digital spaces and fueling our divisions as a society. Even casual conversations can feel fraught in these times. People care deeply about these realities but often don’t know what to do about them. \nIn this Media Literacy Week (MLW) talk\, social change and communications strategist Deanna Troust will explore these dynamics and share simple but powerful ways each of us can be part of the solution set in addressing them. \nStandards-based journalism — at the local level\, especially — is a key antidote to the spread of false and harmful content. Deanna’s co-speaker will be a local Baltimore journalist who will offer a window into reporting processes in covering local Baltimore newsworthy events. \nDeanna Troust is a communications strategist\, consultant\, and founder of truthincommon.org. \nDeanna will be introduced by Dr. Stephanie Flores-Koulish\, Professor of Education at Loyola University MD and Vice President for NAMLE’s Board of Directors.

SUMMARY:In Our Media Literacy Era: Fandom\, Politics\, and the Power of Critical Support
DESCRIPTION:This Media Literacy Week\, we’re talking fandom\, politics\, and critical thinking\, all through the lens of Taylor Swift. The Media Education Lab and Swifties4Hope team up to explore how the worlds of fandom and politics overlap and diverge. Together\, we’ll reflect on how we can support our favorite political candidates passionately while still thinking independently. \nSince our girl knows Aristotle\, it only feels right to remind ourselves that\, in his words\, “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” We’ll put that idea into practice\, since being both a fan and being an informed citizen start with asking good questions. Join us as we apply the 5 Critical Questions of Media Literacy to some of our favorite Taylor Swift lyrics.

SUMMARY:Your News Diet & Your Mental Health in an AI Driven World
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to social media and other channels\, we see more news than ever before. It’s easy to let things pass us by without reflecting on or thinking critically about what we see. But as the information ecosystem becomes more complex with AI generated content\, blurred lines between fact and fiction make intentional\, reflective engagement with media all the more critical. This session will help you understand all the ways you interact with the news\, reflect on what you learned (or didn’t learn) from those interactions\, and understand how consuming the information made you feel. We’ll then explore how news consumption is related to mental health\, and review strategies to help you strike a healthy balance that works for you.
