How can we determine whether news sources are credible? Local news outlets help us make informed decisions as engaged participants in a democracy, but the process of creating the news isn't always clear.
During National News Literacy Week 2024 — Jan. 22 to 26 – we are hosting a free webinar, How to find local news you can trust, which will provide an overview of the news literacy concepts you need to be reliably informed, with a spotlight on local news. We'll pull the curtain back on the practice of quality, ethical local journalism.
