SUMMARY:Unraveling #fakenews from opinion-making information:   a News Literacy discussion
DESCRIPTION:This event was streamed live.\nClick here to view the webcast. \nThis panel discussion is the second installment of a series of panels organized by UNAOC at UNHQ on topics relevant to Media and Information Literacy. Following February’s discussion “Media and Information Literacy: Educational Strategies for the Prevention of Violent Extremism”\, this panel will focus on the “fake news in social media” phenomena from the perspective of News Literacy. \nNews Literacy is defined as the development of critical thinking skills applied to judge the reliability and credibility of information\, whether it comes via print\, radio\, television or the Internet. The term News Literacy is generally associated with schools of communication and journalism rather than pedagogical schools. Some view it as a sub‐sector of the Media and Information Literacy (MIL) field; others as a distinct and unique entity.  \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n  \nUNAOC recognizes the urgency of developing and expanding News Literacy skills in the current political and social state of the world. The onset of so-called “fake news”\, widely distributed through social media platforms\, has the capacity to twist public opinion and shape individuals’ ideological preferences and visions of the world.  \nNews Literacy is an acutely important skill in the Digital Age as citizens struggle with information overload and the intricacies of determining its authenticity. A citizens’ ability to judge the relevance and reliability of information is a leading indicator of the public health of civil society around the world.  \n\n SPEAKERS: \n\nNihalSaad\, Chief of Cabinet & Spokesperson for the UNAOC High Representative \nMaher Nasser\, Director\, Outreach Division\, United Nations Department of Public Information \nHoward Schneider\, Executive Director\, Center for News Literacy\, Stony Brook University\nAlan Miller\, Founder and CEO\, News Literacy Project\nMitra Kalita\, Vice-President of Programming\, CNN \nÁine Kerr\, Manager of Journalism Partnerships\, Facebook\nDina Temple-Raston\, Counterterrorism Correspondent\, National Public Radio\nMichelle Ciulla Lipkin\, Executive Director\, National Association for Media Literacy Education\n\n\n WHEN: \nThursday\, September 7th\, 2017\, 11 am to 1 pm \n\n WHERE: \nConference Room 6\, United Nations Headquarters\, New York \n\n RSVP: \nThis event is by invitation.
