SUMMARY:Spotting election misinformation and understanding motivations behind how and why it spreads

By having a deeper understanding of misinformation\, we can become less susceptible to it and more likely to prioritize reliable\, verified sources of news and information. \nThis webinar is the second installment of a three-part series\, brought to you by The News Literacy Project. This session is presented in partnership with the League of Women Voters. To learn more about election misinformation\, please visit our website: https://newslit.org/election2022 \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) with NASED and NAMLE
DESCRIPTION:We’re Meagan Wolfe\, President of the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) and the Chief Election Official of Wisconsin\, and Michelle Ciulla Lipkin\, Executive Director of the National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE).   \nWe’re excited to be here together to answer your questions about what media literacy is\, why it’s important to elections\, how election officials are combating false information about elections\, and any other election administration or media literacy questions you might have.  Media literacy skill building helps across all subjects\, but it’s especially important with elections to help build resilience to all of the false information out there about election administration in the United States.  \nNASED is a nonpartisan\, nonprofit\, professional association for state election officials in all 50 states\, DC\, and the five US territories.  In 40 states\, the Secretary of State or Lieutenant Governor is the Chief Election Official\, and in those states\, the election director works for the Secretary of State or Lieutenant Governor.  In the other 16 states and territories\, including in Meagan’s state of Wisconsin\, the Chief Election Official typically works for a bipartisan board or commission – Meagan is the Administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission.  Whether they are a Chief Election Official or work for a Chief Election Official\, the person filling the election director role implements new policies and technologies\, works with local election officials\, and so much more. \nFounded in 1997\, NAMLE is a nonpartisan\, 501(c)3 professional organization that represents a diverse network of people and organizations committed to advancing media literacy education. As the leading voice\, convener\, and resource for media literacy education\, NAMLE aims to make media literacy highly valued and widely practiced as an essential life skill. Michelle Ciulla Lipkin began her career in children’s television production\, in various roles on both corporate and production teams\, and has been the executive director of NAMLE since 2012. She earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from New York University and is currently an Adjunct Lecturer at Brooklyn College where she teaches Media Literacy.
