Reading & Sharing News (Digital Advocacy - A Free Training for Social Workers & Advocates)

Описание: The popular image of an activist is superhuman, someone who is in the streets one day, and the capital the next, constantly speaking truth to power. This is a very intimidating image.
Fortunately, it does not take a superhuman to make a difference, you simply need the right set of tools. At SPEAK, we are committed to giving you the tools you need to feel effective as an ally and an advocate. We’ve demystified the digital environment to pull out the tools and practices you need to begin your advocacy journey with our Digital Advocacy Training!

Digital Advocacy is a FREE training that will help you use the digital space to your advantage.
In this section of the course, "Reading and Sharing News", we will discuss the importance of understanding the news environment on social media. We will then take on media literacy, learning to analyze and evaluate information effectively, while identifying misinformation, malinformation, and disinformation. Lastly, we will discuss some general tips for reading and sharing news.
