WASHINGTON, D.C.—At the time when there is heightened concern that fake news and misleading information will play a troubling role in the 2024 U.S. elections, the News Literacy Project and The E.W. Scripps company have outlined some of the events for the fifth annual National News Literacy Week (Jan. 22–26).
National News Literacy Week was created to raise awareness of news literacy as an essential life skill and provides the public, educators, students and parents with easy-to-adopt tools and tips for navigating our information landscape. The week is co-presented by the News Literacy Project, a nonpartisan nonprofit that teaches people how to tell fact from fiction in the news and information they consume, and The E.W. Scripps Company.
