 \n\nNavigating the news and media landscape can be challenging—especiall
 y in an  \nelection year. From wall-to-wall campaign coverage to attack ad
 s and stump  \nspeeches\, there's a lot to process – especially for stud
 ents. Some  \npolitical tricks\, like October surprises\, have been around
  for a long time\,  \nbut young people might not understand them. And in t
 he digital world\, things  \nget even thornier and more complex\, from soc
 ial media bots\, deepfake videos\,  \ndata voids\, and viral memes (just t
 o name a few). These news and media  \nliteracy challenges are important t
 opics for students to consider.\n\nYoung people are curious about what the
 y're seeing and hearing online and in  \nthe news\, and they bring this cu
 riosity into the classroom – and eventually  \nthe voting booth. Neverth
 eless\, many teachers find it challenging to discuss  \nthe news and curre
 nt events topics with their students. So\, how can we help  \nthem explore
  these issues?\n\nJoin our webinar to learn about:\n\n- Where to find qual
 ity resources to teach news and media literacy in your  \nclassroom.\n\n- 
 Tips on facilitating discussions and lessons about the news and current  \
 nevents.\n\n- Easy\, grab-and-go activities aimed at students' news and me
 dia literacy in  \nan election year.\n\n*REGISTER HERE* [3]\n\n\n[1] https
