If you want to be a savvy consumer of media and news, plan to participate in the League's Media & News Literacy Educational Workshops starting in September. 

These online, interactive educational workshops on media and news literacy will offer news examples, group challenges, individual skill development, and links to additional resources. 

Mark your calendars for the following workshop dates. Each session will be on a Tuesday from 6:30-8:00 pm:

• September 9: Strategies you can use to be an active media and news consumer and critical thinker;
• October 28: Tips to identify mis-,dis-and mal-information;
• January 20, 2026: Techniques used to sway opinion;
• February 24, 2026: Understanding artificial intelligence (AI) and how it's used.

In the next In League newsletter, look for: 

• Information on how to register;
• A new video introducing media and news literacy, including different ways information is delivered and how that can influence our perception of the message. The  video will also discuss why journalism is important and why we need media and news literacy now.
