Description:
Participatory storytelling is reshaping news and public discourse, driving both polarization and civic engagement. Join us for “Participatory Storytelling and News” as we unpack insights from Kate Starbird’s research on misinformation and modern media ecosystems. Drawing on the Tech Policy Press December 2024 podcast interview with Starbird, this session explores how educators can better understand our dynamic information landscape, help students critically engage with media and the news, understand participatory narratives, and build resilience against misinformation in today’s polarized landscape. Don’t miss this timely discussion on fostering informed and active citizenship.
