AMP celebrates National News Literacy Week by partnering with the News Literacy Project for a how-to-identify-misinformation session with Homewood Rotary Club



Feb. 6, 2025, at Homewood Public Library


AMP celebrated National News Literacy Week with an interactive session on misinformation and how to identify it.


Alee Quick, director of community engagement for The News Literacy Project, introduced that organization and its free resources during the joint meeting with Homewood Rotary Club. The News Literacy Project is a world leader in promoting news-literacy awareness and developing educational resources.


Olivia McMurrey and Elaine Hobson Miller, members of AMP's News Literacy Committee, led a lesson using NLP's resources and an interactive session in which audience members applied what they had learned.


Rotary Club members were able to meet and converse with journalists and other professional communicators in addition to participating in the program. This is the third year in a row that AMP has held a news-literacy-themed joint meeting with Homewood Rotary Club.
