Primary Goal
Learn essential, critical thinking skills in the age of social media to effectively navigate and make sense of news
Description
With social media and a 24/7 news cycle, how do we — as news consumers — make sense of what we hear and read? At a time when we are flooded with an abundance of information and disinformation, it is essential for each one of us to become a more discerning news consumer.
This six-week course will help you identify reliable information in news reports and become better informed about the world we live in. We will discuss journalism from the viewpoint of the news audience.
Curriculum
The Journalism and Media Studies Centre (JMSC) at the University of Hong Kong has been collaborating with the Center for News Literacy (CNL) at Stony Brook University to internationalize the news literacy curriculum originally developed by the CNL.
This course has adapted some of the core concepts from the Stony Brook model and added new modules.
