These consecutive 60-minute workshops will provide resources for librarians
to lead trainings for the public and their constituents regarding best
practices in media literacy education to empower online users to combat
disinformation. In the first session, we’ll look at the proliferation of
disinformation and misinformation in the news and how to guide news
consumers to spot fraudulent news. In the second session, we’ll review the
components of PEN America’s media literacy toolkit and how they can be
applied to COVID-19 disinformation, false content during an election
season, and everything in between. At the end of each session, Nora
Benavidez, the facilitator and director of U.S. Free Expression programs at
PEN America, will open the virtual floor to questions and interactive
discussion about experiences teaching media literacy, both triumphant and
challenging.

Please confirm your registration at the Zoom link below, which will
automatically sign you up for both part 1 and part 2. For more information,
contact Hannah Waltz, Media Literacy Training Coordinator, at
medialiteracy at pen.org.
