Workshops
Throughout 2019-2020 I lead a series of workshops in Armenia and Kazakhstan on News Literacy topics.
Over three days, we covered important topics such as the ethics and responsibilities of journalists, how news is created, how to identify and sort misinformation, and habits of mind for determining when fact-checking is necessary and how to verify claims and sources online.

Participant surveys post-workshop were overwhelmingly positive.
