Commentary: How Illinois is leading the charge for schools to impart media literacy to students – Chicago Tribune*

James Warren, former managing editor of the Chicago Tribune: "A spokesperson for the Illinois State Board of Education underscored the importance of students learning credible sources of information, and said that the mandated 'unit of instruction' would be defined and monitored separately by each school district. It would be great if this new legislation means that Illinois students will learn the difference between PBS and TikTok. Or the difference between the Chicago Tribune and The New York Times on one hand, and InfoWars.com or RT.com, on the other. RT.com is the English language organ of the Russian government now in Ukraine misinformation overdrive."
