New Readers Press | News Literacy Series, Part 3: Avoiding Election Misinformation

For any number of reasons-evidence-free allegations of voter fraud, confusion about mail-in ballots, meddling by foreign actors, or misleading advertisements-too many of us have doubts about the outcome of legitimate elections. DeMario Phipps-Smith of the News Literacy Project will focus this session specifically on news literacy skills that are essential to finding credible information about candidates, issues, and electoral processes.
Also, Greg Stultz of New Readers Press will walk through the 2024 News for You Voting Guide. It’s a plain-language guide that explains the voting process in the U.S.: who can vote, how Americans choose their leaders, how to register, how to cast your ballot, and why every vote counts. It also includes guidance on ways to get the best information about the candidates and issues, and on understanding political campaign ads and debates.
