Learn tools and techniques to thrive in a highly mediated, digital, and saturated world—especially as a presidential election season nears. We’ll discuss how political messaging works to impact us for better or worse, how journalism and other forms of media shape our understanding of elections and important civic issues, and how we can equip ourselves to better protect and engage in democracy.
This event will be live-streamed here.
The National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE) will host the kickoff event for the 8th annual U.S. Media Literacy Week at Twitter’s NYC headquarters for an important discussion about the future of news and journalism with New York City area students. This live event will feature a panel discussion with PBS NewsHour’s Hari Sreenivasan and breakout sessions with NAMLE and Twitter employees to explore how youth envision what comes next for news and journalism. Discussion will explore topics such as freedom of speech, equity, inclusion, and content creation. Bring your students so they can share their voice and help envision their future.
This event is not open to the public.
