Dear Coalition,
We had heard, even from NBC, that 64% of Native voters voted for Trump. This article in Indigenous Journalist Association unpacks the falseness of that claim. Please read their article about the election results here.
Here’s some Media literacy tips from the experts
According to the National Assoc. for Media Literacy Education, analyzing media content means asking questions about a piece of media to identify authorship, credibility, purpose, technique, context and economics. Understanding more about who created a piece of information — their knowledge base, intent for creation and biases, specifically — can help consumers determine the accuracy of the message.
Key questions to ask (from Center for Media Literacy):
Authorship: Who created and/or paid for it?
Format: What techniques are used to attract my attention and why?
Audience: How might someone else understand this message differently than I do?
Content: What lifestyles, values and points of view are represented in, or omitted from, this message?
Purpose: Why is this message being sent? Are they selling something or trying to influence me for their own benefit?
