The News You Use: News Literacy in 2025

Once upon a time, we trusted familiar names like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and anchors like Walter Cronkite and Tom Brokaw to keep us informed. But today’s media landscape looks a little different — and a lot more complicated.

With billionaire owners shaping narratives, cable news blurring the line between fact and entertainment, and social media influencers delivering “news” in 30-second clips… how do we know what’s true anymore?

Join us for “The News You Use: News Literacy in 2025” — a fast, insightful session exploring how to navigate misinformation, spot bias, and find credible, trustworthy news sources in today’s ever-changing information world.
