Describe the challenge you want to address:

Teaching a college prep writing course last summer I discovered that students were unsure where to locate a news article online. They mostly got news from social media and did not pay attention to the source when they clicked through a headline to an article. They also didn't and what makes a news agency different from a blog, a website, or a youtube commentator. A wide range of people do not have a systematic approach to evaluating the credibility of a news source. This fact has serious implications for a democracy.

What is the solution to the challenge?

I would like to develop and deliver a media literacy workshop. I'd start with holding two focus groups to find out how people are selecting their news sources and how they judge what they think is credible. Based on what I find out, I would create a participatory workshop, drawing from a range of media literacy curricula and literature. The workshop might start by making a list of ways that attendees evaluate credibility, then offering some additional approaches. The presenter would also introduce tools for situating news sources on a continuum to identify how they rank in terms of political bias and accuracy. Attendees could then find different reports of a single event to analyze and compare. We could also experiment with fact-checking tools to compare their results. This workshop could be offered anywhere - for high school students in public schools, at community centers and libraries.
