Let’s Talk About Media Literacy

Media literacy is more important now than ever (both digital and print). We are surrounded by news from varying perspectives and interpretations of facts. With our kiddos connected more often these days, it’s important to have conversations about evaluating what we read and how media is often used to empower and disenfranchise communities. Check out these titles that allow for entry points into conversations around media literacy, as well as a few titles that highlight the importance of disconnecting!
