Teaching Truth, Lies, and Accuracy in the Digital Age: Media Literacy as Project-Based Learning
Friesem, Yonty
Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, v74 n2 p185-198 Jun 2019
The post-truth era has challenged traditional ways of teaching journalism and media literacy. Media literacy education can offer a useful lens for teaching students to be more critical. This pedagogy article describes a semester-long undergraduate course designed to deconstruct information disorder in the post-truth era by looking at economics, ideology, and power relations. Applying a project-based learning model allowed students to enhance their digital and media literacy skills by inquiring about the accuracy of a variety of sources centered on a single story.
