AMP's News Literacy Committee is partnering with Hoover Public Library again this year to hold an event aimed at helping the public identify standards-based journalism as well as misinformation. The event will be held March 18 at 6 p.m. 

 

We're planning an interactive program in which AMP members will guide participants in verifying the accuracy of content and spotting misinformation using News Literacy Project tools. Alee Quick, director of community engagement for The News Literacy Project, will introduce that organization, which is a world leader in promoting news-literacy awareness, and its free educational resources. 

 

We hope to have as many AMP members as possible turn out so members of the public can meet and converse with journalists and other professional communicators.
