ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “Journalist Saffron Howden on why it’s important to teach media literacy – for all! | The Drum” – below is their description.
Fake news is so rampant, so how do we make sure the information we consume and share is legitimate?
Might some sort of media literacy training be the answer?
There may be a need for it. We look at 16-18-year-olds in Australia, 43% can’t tell what is real or fake.
Saffron Howden is a journalist and author of “Kid Reporter, The secret to breaking news” – a hand book for kids to learn about how journalism works – and much more.
