23-25\u00a0\u00a0 I was pleased to be among those in attendance at “Rebooting The News.”<\/a> Temple University
\nwas the host for this three day event which has just adjourned. (read School Library Journal’s preview<\/a>)
\nParticipants came from journalism, news, education and activism, just to name a few. Among the highlights
\n(to me) was hearing details of the new News Literacy course at Stony Brook University, Long Island NY.
\n(There is a brief explanatory video available at here<\/a>). The developer of that course, Howard Schneider,
\nspoke at the event on Friday morning, and according to what I saw\/heard, what his students are going
\nthrough is rigorous. This is not about journalism education, but rather education for all. Working groups
\nhad lengthy discussions about what this might look like in American schools and why all of this is critical.
\nAnother News Literacy project is just getting started: details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

17-18 I enjoyed meeting some wonderful folks during the Gateway<\/a> (St. Louis)
\nMedia Literacy Partners<\/a> media literacy week. (Details in this story <\/a>in the WU student newspaper.)
\nOn Friday, I participated in a morning panel discussion<\/a> with Webster University media lit professor
\nArt Silverblatt and former Governor Bob Holden. At noon time, I delivered a keynote address on
\nThe Role of Media In Politics–an historical look which included excerpts from my new book:
\nPolitical Campaigns and Political Advertising: A Media Literacy Guide<\/a>. Saturday, I conducted a
\nhands-on, interactive workshop for educators. I really enjoyed my time in St Louis and look forward to returning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
