Abstract

Facts Matter: A Guide to Building Critical Media Literacy in Today’s World is an introductory guide for adult literacy and adult education practitioners who wish to build their students’ knowledge, understanding, skills and confidence in critical thinking, media and digital literacy.

The guide also supports tutors to engage with what it means to live in an increasingly unequal world and to invite students to question and challenge this.

Facts Matter includes:

  • 10 lessons, 30 activities, 19 handouts and 14 worksheets
  • 6 reasons why becoming media savvy and reading the world are essential today
  • activities exploring how news is made, breaking down tactics and methods used by trolls against women online and activities to ‘de-escalate hate’
  • materials piloted and developed with literacy tutors across Ireland.
