INTRODUCTION Using the news in the K-12 classroom is an excellent way to engage young people. Reading, writing and creating projects related to the news is part of most state's teaching standards. Students should be exposed to news via print (newspapers and magazines), and non-print (radio, Television, the Internet.) Both mainstream and non-mainstream sources should be included. To incorporate media literacy into your existing teaching, I recommend you download the core concepts of media literacy and the critical thinking questions handouts as a way of getting started.
