This event will continue the discussion started at the Stony Brook University in 2017 during the first News Literacy Global Conference. The conference is also one of many scientific events commemorating University of Poznań's 100th anniversary.
News Literacy is a pioneer media education curriculum launched by SBU's School of Journalism in 2007. It has been adopted at the AMU's Faculty of Political Science and Journalism in 2014.
Through Global News Literacy Conference we aim to engage the media studies and education community in a wider discussion built around three goals:
Presentation and reflection on the newest research on the current media environment and their relevance for Media Education;
Discussion on possible contribution of News Literacy course, materials and other output of our activities to further research and education related to media issues;
Networking opportunities for academics, teachers and NGO activists working on News Literacy and broader Media Education.
