Abstract
News literacy is an important part of journalism and liberal arts education. Adapting a tool called the Frayer Model, the activity guides students in developing a conceptual understanding of news by creating a definition, listing essential characteristics, and coming up with examples and non-examples. This activity is intended to set the stage for an introductory newswriting course, as students learn to connect journalism's purpose with its format.
Courses: Newswriting, reporting
Objectives: Facilitating news literacy and understanding of how the civic function of journalism is related to content creation.
