The The News Literacy Project is 15 today!! 🎂 While many have just become aware of the threat of disinformation, we’ve been working against it for a long time. We have work to do to create a news-literate country, but we’ve proved we’re in it for the long haul! newslit.org/updates/upon-r…

It’s here! National #NewsLiteracyWeek is a chance for you, your family and your friends to not only become more news literate but also to join the movement to fight disinformation. Together, we can create a more news-literate nation and a future founded on facts!
