Monday, January 25 marks the beginning of the Second annual National News Literacy week.
This week, KATC, and our parent company E.W. Scripps are working together to help our viewers stay better informed.
The week aims to promote news literacy as a fundamental life skill and to provide the public with the tools needed to be an informed and empowered populace.
Unlike food, the media we consume doesn t come with a nutrition label.
For many, determining verified facts, credible sources and getting relevant context has never been more difficult.

Fewer pixels, more cardboard
“These boxes are important. They slice neatly through the myth that data telling must be bound to programming. Do you have some boxes? Some paint? You can visualize data.”
While my Twitter feed has spent the last week arguing about whether “defund the police” is a good slogan, I’ve been thinking about these boxes:
They were set up and stacked in Chicago up by a group of young Black activists including asha rosa, a founding member of BYP100. The tallest stack of boxes represents the $1.8 billion the city spends each year on police; the others represent other chunks of the city’s budget. At the right edge are housing and public health, one single box each. It’s a clear and persuasive message, told in cardboard.
