🎉 BIG NEWS: We're excited to announce a three-year, $1.15 million grant from The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation to support a partnership with Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the largest independent school district in the country! The partnership will ensure that all students learn news literacy skills and concepts before high school graduation. And it will pioneer a blueprint not only for districts in California seeking to align instruction with the state’s recent media literacy legislation, but also for others across the U.S. as a growing number of states pass similar legislation. 🔗 Read more: https://bit.ly/NLPandLAUSD #Education #NewsLiteracy

I’m proud to announce the launch of the third cohort of the NLP District Fellowship program this school year! What began as a small group has now grown to 17 districts nationwide, collectively reaching over 1 million students. #education
🚨 Monday news drop: We have selected nine school districts to join our growing News Literacy District Fellowship program, bringing the total number of fellowships to 17! 🔗 Full details: https://lnkd.in/g-cQThYq ℹ️ The program is a nationwide initiative that supports education leaders to design and implement district-wide plans for news and media literacy education. It will potentially impact more than 1 million students across 13 states in urban, suburban and rural communities. 📍 The new fellowship districts include five in California, Broward (FL), Kearny (NE), Johnston County (NC) and Norman (OK).

✅ Yes, people are calling X founder Elon Musk creepy for his response to Taylor Swift, following her endorsement of Kamala Harris. ❌ No, Travis Kelce didn't respond to Musk with a threat. 💡Remember that fake images of nonexistent social posts are easy to make.

❌ NO: There are no credible reports of Haitian immigrants stealing, harming or eating pets or local wildlife in Springfield, Ohio, or elsewhere. City officials debunked this claim and said there's no evidence to support it. ✔️ The photo was taken in Columbus, Ohio, not Springfield, and there's no evidence that the person pictured is a Haitian immigrant or that he killed or ate the goose. 🤔 If a post evokes a strong reaction, pause and consider the source and evidence before sharing it.
