Welcome to GetNewsSmart!
This is the first page of the online prep course in News Literacy. GetNewsSmart is intended to prepare you for in-person training at a News Literacy workshop.
The course material, while not comprehensive, should give you a clear understanding of the course concepts and major lessons of News Literacy.
To complete the course, you will need to read through all of the material, complete the quizzes at the end of each Unit with a score of 75% of higher, and submit your own example of a course concept in action.
Each unit is designed to get you to the content you need quickly, and should take no longer than
one hour to complete (with the quiz and sample exercise you’ll submit).
