Information Literacy: Propaganda in Media Today

Mind Over Media project addresses the broader idea of propaganda in the 21st century. 

Mind Over Media is a free online resource devoted to helping individuals understand how to recognize and interpret propaganda in media. 

A teachers page includes a complete curriculum as well as eight lesson plans. 

Teachers can create a free account to curate media for their lessons and view sample, teacher-created custom galleries. Because the platform includes a crowdsourcing feature to encourage educators to share more examples of propaganda, the library of available media will continue to grow.
