Fairfield Library Hosts Media Literacy Presentation

From Fairfield Public Library: Learn to analyze and evaluate content when the Library hosts a timely presentation on media literacy. Media literacy draws from common sense, critical thinking skills and universal standards of journalism. It gives citizens the tools to discern fact from fiction in news reports, the ability to identify fake news and the ability to evaluate the truthfulness of real news. This talk will help you develop your own media literacy tool kit by applying basic principles of media literacy to real world examples from current events. Join us on Wednesday, March 22 at 7:00 pm in the Rotary Room at the Main Library, 1080 Old Post Road. Registration is requested.

Dennis Davidson is a research artist and a producer of a science media for museums and planetariums worldwide. He led the Digital Galaxy team that reinvented New York’s Hayden Planetarium as the first interstellar flight simulator for exploring the universe. Davidson is an advocate for both scientific and geographic literacy.
