Course description

Media literacy becomes useful when you can decide what to do with a particular message. Sometimes a quick source check is enough. Sometimes the consequences require more work, a qualified expert, or a decision to wait. This final course brings the path together. You will match the depth of checking to the claim and its stakes, consider privacy and consent before sharing, and correct a mistake clearly. A complete worked case follows one public claim through its headline, numbers, document, image, and updated conclusion. The aim is a reasoned response that says what is known and what remains uncertain.
