🎉 BIG NEWS: We're excited to announce a three-year, $1.15 million grant from The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation to support a partnership with Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the largest independent school district in the country! The partnership will ensure that all students learn news literacy skills and concepts before high school graduation. And it will pioneer a blueprint not only for districts in California seeking to align instruction with the state’s recent media literacy legislation, but also for others across the U.S. as a growing number of states pass similar legislation. 🔗 Read more: https://bit.ly/NLPandLAUSD #Education #NewsLiteracy

👀 We began compiling examples of election-related falsehoods in July 2023 with a screenshot of what appeared to be an endorsement of Donald Trump for president from superstar Lady Gaga. Since then, we’ve cataloged more than 500 other false claims. 💡 Misinformation Dashboard: Election 2024 also identifies common tactics used to create these falsehoods, along with the recurring themes around which they cluster. ✨ It's an approach that we hope helps people be able to better recognize and reject these pieces of misinformation in their feeds. 🔗 Get to know our NEW resource with today's post: https://lnkd.in/ghHy5HPg #Election2024 #Misinformation
