The Guardian Foundation, a charity dedicated to promoting press freedom and access to journalism, have recommended that news and media literacy be recognised as a competency throughout the curriculum, with investment in training, support and resources to make this happen.
The Foundation defines news and media literacy as “the ability to critically engage with news and online information as well as the skills and confidence to challenge information and act upon it responsibly, so that people can become more engaged citizens, able to make informed decisions about their lives.”
