Ask Me What Is True? Training

In today’s digital world, false and misleading information spreads quickly — making it harder to know what is true. “Ask Me What Is True?” is an engaging, interactive media literacy training created by the Roy Howard Community Journalism Center. The session helps individuals understand the difference between misinformation and disinformation, identify red flags in news and social media, and practice simple fact-checking techniques. It also explores the impact of false information on communities and teaches participants how to be more responsible consumers and sharers of news.

Participants leave with practical tools to confidently navigate the media landscape. After the session, attendees can complete a short quiz to earn a digital media literacy certification.
