In this episode of Leading from the Library podcast, Shannon (@shannonmmiller) talks with Librarian Extraordinaire Jennifer LaGarde (@jenniferlagarde) about news and information literacy in this day and age of information and disinformation overload. They talk about techniques to help learners of all ages parse fact from fiction, and distinguish between emotion-driven click bait and fact driven news. Listen to discover how you too can stress #DigCit, Digital Citizenship to advocate for fact based learning and help defend democracy against the pervasive creep of disinformation, myth, and conspiracy.
