Using Media Literacy to Combat Election Disinformation: Librarian Train-the-Trainer Workshop

In this 60-minute interactive session, PEN America will provide resources for librarians to lead webinar-style trainings for their constituents regarding best practices in media literacy education. We’ll discuss the influx of mis/disinformation in the news and online, how certain communities are being targeted with false content, ways librarians can engage their library constituents to spot and stop the spread of disinformation during this election season, and PEN America’s Media Literacy Toolkit.
