<p>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.</p><p>Please confirm your registration at the Zoom link below, which will
automatically sign you up for both part 1 and part 2. For more
