Last Call for News Literacy Ideas!

The Why News Matters application deadline of April 2 is fast approaching. If the
 three informational sessions we held are any indication, there will be scores of
excellent ideas. More than 100 people participated in the informational sessions,
while others connected with us later online.
If you've missed the informational sessions, we've posted our March 9 Why News Matters
overview webinar for online viewing. Very soon, we'll add recordings of our two 
news literacy guest presenters, Dean Miller of the Center for News Literacy at Stony
Brook University, and Geanne Rosenberg of Baruch College.
And we have taken Why News Matters on the road.  Since developing the concept in
 January, the Journalism Program staff has been talking with universities, news 
organizations, libraries, community groups, jobs training programs, educators, civic
organizations, arts groups, media literacy organizations, digital folks, entrepreneurs
and independent journalists. We've truly enjoyed these conversations and your thoughtful
ideas and questions about shaping a long-term strategy and approach to news literacy
in Chicago.

McCormick Foundation Journalism Program: Why News Matters Informational Webinar

To help you prepare your application, we've compiled a few additional frequently
 asked questions from our recent informational sessions. The questions we answer
 include:

* How can news literacy be incorporated into an area like work-force training?
* You say you want to engage the community. What's your take on the role of journalism
in advocacy and community organizing?
* Do I have to create a separate user name and log-in for every application I submit?
* What's your evaluation logic model?
