News Literacy Ambassador Institute

Catalog description

Penn State's News Literacy Initiative has partnered with multiple press advocacy organizations to create the News Literacy Ambassador Institute, which teaches students to reflect on the importance of journalism, to think critically about how news is produced, and to consider how it is shared in our increasingly digital world. Those who complete the course will become official News Literacy Ambassadors and will have the opportunity to apply for paid outreach work promoting the initiative across the University, as well as earn one academic credit and a certificate of professional achievement in news media literacy.
