SUMMARY:Thomson Reuters Media Literacy Contest
DESCRIPTION:We live in an increasingly digital world – media is no longer just information we see or hear from journalists. Anyone has the ability to create and disseminate content\, but it is not always done in a responsible or professional manner. Critical thinking and media literacy are key skills that are needed in today’s world. This year\, we are asking students in the U.S. and Canada: \n“How do you use media literacy skills when creating and sharing media?” \nStudents are invited to share their thoughts with us via video submission. We encourage teachers to leverage the resources we’ve created to present this\nas a learning opportunity in their classrooms. \nWhen: The deadline for submission is October 7\, 2022 at 5pm ET. \nWho: The contest is open to middle and high school students from the United States and Canada. \nPrizes: Up to five (5) students will be selected from this contest to receive a virtual mentorship opportunity with a Reuters journalist.

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion - The War of the Worlds (1953)
DESCRIPTION:Join us to relive the infamous night in 1938 when Orson Welles narrated scenes from H.G. Wells’ novel The War of the Worlds over the radio\, resulting in panic from American listeners who thought a Martian invasian was happening. We then screen the classic 1953 film based on the same novel and discuss whether this scare could happen today. What can we learn from the night that panicked America? Presented by Mark Daniels\, science fiction cinema instructor and podcaster.

SUMMARY:Representations of Teachers in the Media across time and space
DESCRIPTION:Abbott Elementary is out to bust all the typical teacher tropes that have manifested in popular culture across time. As Marshall (2016) writes\, teachers have predominantly been represented in popular culture as saintly\, un-intellectual nurturers\, or the opposite\, as monsters\, all the while presenting a misogynistic view of the teaching profession that’s dominated by women. In this presentation\, media literacy educators/scholars\, Dr. Stephanie Flores-Koulish and Sr. Rose Pacatte will examine various depictions of teacher depictions in the media\, past and present using the critical lenses of media literacy education\, and discuss the implications of such depictions on the profession and especially the impact on this female-dominated profession. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Media Literacy and the Civic Mission of Schools
DESCRIPTION:Our country and constitutional democracy can only thrive when schools prepare the next generation to be literate and independent consumers and producers of news and media. That mission can only be achieved when schools first reflect a broader civic mission. For decades\, that mission has been underresourced in terms of both funding and time on topic. The bipartisan Civics Secures Democracy Act offers an opportunity to invest a billion dollars a year for the next five years in civics and U.S. history\, explicitly calling out functions of media literacy. Come learn about how the media literacy community serves as a linchpin to getting this bill to the finish line and reclaiming the civic mission of schools. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Media Literacy Packs Power in Civics
