Announcement: Summer HS News Literacy Institute
Become a News Literacy Fellow this summer at Stony Brook University! Help pioneer a new course for high school and middle school students on how to know if you’re getting the truth from the news media! Work and study with a select group of journalists and faculty at the School of Journalism. The two-week immersion course, underwritten by the Ford Foundation, will include a condensed version of the university’s innovative News Literacy course, colloquia with journalism school lecturers and professional journalists and work on curriculum development.
Institute participants are housed and fed on Stony Brook's forested campus, with access to summertime film festivals and other events. Plus, Stony Brook University hosts a stop on the commuter train to New York City, or if you prefer the charms of New England, Long Island's charming North Shore beaches are a mere two miles away.
In additional to the formal course, there will be guest speakers (last summer Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Les Payne and two time Pulitzer Prize winner editorial cartoonist Walt Handelsman were among the speakers) and field trips to newspaper and television station as well as access to all that New York City has to offer.
Participants over the last two summers came away with great enthusiasm and a commitment to implement News Literacy in their schools. A few reactions:
Newspapers that still have good Newspaper In Education programs ought to think about how they can incorporate news literacy into their curriculum…
David Porter
Director of Communications & Marketing
Illinois Press Association
I especially hope our school will find even more ways to bring these understandings and skills that are essential to good citizenship.
