Journal of Media Literacy Education

The high profile of fake news reveals underlying trends in the production and consumption of news.

School librarians can play a critical role in helping students gain news literacy competence. This study investigated the needs for K-12 students to be news literate and their current level of skills as perceived by in-service teachers and school librarians in California.

Poverty, Literacy, And Social Transformation: An Interdisciplinary Exploration Of The Digital Divide, Amy J. Bach, Todd Wolfson, Jessica K. Crowell

Journal of Media Literacy Education

Finally, we make the case that scholars and practitioners focused on digital literacy …
