The New Rochelle League recently had a webinar by:Communications specialist and Ballot Box guest Andy Katell with tips for increasing our "news literacy."

INFORMATION OR DISINFORMATION?  With so much information bombarding us in so many formats, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to determine what’s true and false. Some have called this a “disinformation pandemic.” How can we inoculate ourselves against it? What tools are available to help us fight off this pandemic? Andy Katell, a League member, veteran journalist, communications specialist and news literacy trainer, answers these questions.

Here are Andy Katell's documents from the webinar:
