E8: Fighting Misinformation with News Literacy

Feb 16, 2023 4:30:00 PM


Ebonee Rice of the News Literacy Project joins Ed Post to discuss how teachers can help students vet online sources, evaluate claims based on evidence and spot misinformation on the Internet.

Ebonee Rice joined the News Literacy Project in April 2020. A strategic coalition builder and community engagement expert, she has spent her career successfully scaling up campaigns and programs in the pursuit of equal access for all. From 2015 to 2017, she led the national partner engagement program at Enroll America, a nonprofit created to ensure that members of often underserved communities were able to enroll for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Her work resulted in millions of people within minority, women and young adult communities gaining health coverage. After Enroll America closed its doors, she joined the District of Columbia’s Office of the State Superintendent of Education as a community outreach specialist, building compelling digital experiences for constituents that led to positive outcomes for children, educators and families.
