SUMMARY:Panhandle Library Access Network Session 3: Understanding News Media Bias
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: \n\n\n\nAlee Quick \n\n\n\nPeople frequently perceive and allege bias in news coverage\, but what does this really mean? What makes a piece of news biased\, and who decides? What role do our own biases play in our perceptions of bias? This session explores this vital\, controversial and complex topic in ways that empower librarians\, educators\, students and library patrons to meaningfully evaluate the fairness and impartiality of news coverage. In the session\, we will: \n\n\n\n\nReflect on the ideal of avoiding bias as a standard of quality journalism.\n\n\n\nAnalyze actual examples of news and other information and reflect on the nuanced\, highly subjective nature of perceived bias in news.\n\n\n\nLearn an approach for evaluating potential bias in news by recognizing different types of potential bias and the forms they can take in coverage. \n\n\n\nExplore the limitations of popular media bias charts and rating systems.

SUMMARY:Get ready to teach news literacy
DESCRIPTION:Calling Minnesota educators!\n\n\n\nThis session provides an overview of news literacy education that touches on key concepts\, skills and dispositions that students need to navigate the information environment effectively and responsibly.

SUMMARY:Panhandle Library Access Network Session 4: Algorithms and Generative AI: Pitfalls and Possibilities for Students
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: \n\n\n\nTracee Stanford \n\n\n\nYoung people spend a lot of time on social media\, but do they know why certain content appears on their feeds? Algorithms are powerful but often invisible forces shaping our online experiences — but whose interests are they designed to promote? This presentation will help you dive into the world of algorithms and generative artificial intelligence so you can teach students and public library patrons to consider the civic and social impact of these technologies. You’ll gain an understanding of how search and social media algorithms work; explore the opportunities and pitfalls of large language model chatbots\, such as ChatGPT; and learn about the evolution of AI image generators. We’ll also take a look at where these technologies are heading\, including the rapid development of AI video\, and discuss their implications for civic discourse\, research and library best practices.
