The issue of news literacy kindled additional interest in the professional …

News Literacy In Argentina; Commitment To Democracy, Roxana Morduchowicz

First Global News Literacy Conference

The main challenge for a News Literacy program in Latin America is to reinforce democracy. After many years of strong military dictatorships, media literacy in this region should develop and strengthen students´ democratic culture and citizenship education. The other essential goal for News Literacy in Latin America is to break the social and cultural gaps –including critical reading skills- that exist between young people from privileged families and the ones who come from the poorest economic groups. The first step is to enact News Literacy as a public policy. There have always been teachers who taught students how to critically …

Tackling ‘Bias’ And Fake Coverage In The Indian Media, Buroshiva Dasgupta

First Global News Literacy Conference

In India, there are a vast number of vernacular newspapers and TV channels in addition to the standard English newspapers and channels. Their strategies for covering news differ from place to place, language to language as well as their political or business “affiliations”. Unfortunately, in recent times most of the media platforms in India have moved away from their ‘objective’ standpoint. To understand or decipher fact from fiction the first method would be to go for a comparative study of the news items and then try to source out their ‘affiliations’ ! both political and business – to place the …

Says Who? Challenges Of Teaching News Literacy In A Culture Of Secrecy, Kanchan Kaur

First Global News Literacy Conference

India might be the world’s largest democracy, but it is still fraught with challenges that plague the underdeveloped world. India is quickly moving to a digital democracy—the ability to receive information in almost real time through mass media and to make one’s voice heard through social media (1) --with complex consequences. One of them has to do with a post-fact environment and non-state actors who try to influence public opinion to serve their own ends. Social media, especially WhatsApp, serves their purposes well, for instead of exposing people to diverse views, it mainly creates an echo chamber (2). Making matters …

Overcoming The Dark Side: Seeing Through The Spin Of Public Relations In The News, Samantha Stanley

First Global News Literacy Conference

In its current state, news literacy curriculum covers all the information types that consumers will see when they read, watch, listen to, and interact with news content. While current lessons do explain how press releases distribute information in the “promotion / publicity” neighborhood, there is much more nuance to the practice of PR that impacts information people read as ‘news’. In today’s climate of political spin cycles, it is more important than ever for news consumers to understand what public relations is and how its strategies influence news content. Because the practice of public relations is so often misunderstood and …

News Or Native Advertising, Hoang Xuan Phuong

First Global News Literacy Conference

We are living in a world surrounded by media. Companies are constantly thinking of new ways of communicating and engaging with the public. When the reader is overwhelmed by advertisements in media, they are no longer persuasive to audiences who begin to disbelieve and question what the companies want to promote and sell. The technique of native advertising, which "employs a third party” such as media, social media, celebrities, professionals and people of high stature, has become an important tool that contributes positively to the success of a business. Sponsored articles and television shows are produced in the same way …

Integrated News Literacy Concepts And Skills In Teaching Mobile Journalism, Nguyet Nguyen, Phuong Hoang

First Global News Literacy Conference

Along with the rapid development of technology infrastructure, Vietnam is witnessing a powerful transformation in media activities. One of the significant changes is the advent of a new media form named mobile journalism. Collecting news from various sources is the most difficult task for journalists writing for the emerging mobile platform. Most of the news will be easily found on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Zalo, etc. On the one hand, journalists can take advantage of the huge volume of information which is multidimensional and has consistent, timely coverage. However, these sources of news, that often lack transparency, clarity, …

Customizing News Literacy Course In Different Class Settings, Huyen Nguyen

First Global News Literacy Conference

One challenge for the news literacy instructor/lecture/trainer is to tailor lessons to different class settings. Fortunately, I have had opportunities to design news literacy courses for different class sizes, from small groups to big classes, and for different time durations, from a 3-­‐session training course to 10-­‐ week and 15-­‐week courses, as well as for students of different cultures, from Vietnamese students to Chinese and American students.

In this paper, I primarily review my experience designing and teaching News Literacy courses for two 30-­‐ student classes at Ohio University and University of Social Sciences and Humanities. In addition, I share …

A Content Analysis Of News Source Characteristics Within Broadcast News Stories Concerning The Financial Crisis Between September 8, 2008 – December 31, 2008, Jennifer L. Freer

Theses

A content analysis was conducted to identify potential differences in the characteristics of sources appearing in stories shown on the three national evening news broadcasts of ABC World News, CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News during the first four months of the 2008 Financial Crisis. The names, titles, affiliations, and societal sectors of each on-camera, named individual were identified and analyzed for their differences and frequencies of appearance. The study found the government sector was the most frequently appearing sector, and members of the House of Representatives appeared far more than any other government officials. Though the evening network …
