High School
This lesson introduces students to what journalism is, the ethical principles behind it, and how to briefly verify information.
It walks them through four key pieces:
What journalism is: helping students sort real reporting from things that only look like news.
Ethical principles: the core standards journalists follow and how students can spot them in practice
Verification skills: tools journalists use to check accuracy, sources, visuals, and evidence.
How AI shows up in journalism: what AI can do, where it helps, and why human oversight still matters.
