POST-ELECTION, POST-TRUTH: Using Comprehensive Media Literacy to Assess and Evaluate News and Current Events
Dr. Allison Butler of Mass Media Literacy (MML) shares
concepts and understandings using critical media literacy skills to
evaluate the current, post-election news environment, including fake
news, satire, and propaganda. Designed for librarians, this document can
be adapted for anyone interested in applying critical media literacy
activities to support students, families, and community patrons. Lesson
ideas are included that employ satire to analyze news as well as work
for student-directed learning.
