News Literacy is the ability to determine the credibility of news and other information and to recognize the standards of fact-based journalism to know what to trust, share, and act on. News Literacy helps people civically engage in more meaningful, authentic, and empowering ways while also helping people hold news and media accountable. 

I, _______________________ , pledge to practice news literacy, unite people around facts, and hold others accountable. I will seek out fact-based and unbiased news from credible sources. I will engage in challenging discussions about current events and issues even when it causes me discomfort. I will be intentional with what I share on social media in an effort to promote factual information and empowering conversations.
