NewsWise, run by The Guardian Foundation, is an award-winning news-literacy programme aimed at children aged 7 to 11. It consists of a series of engaging workshops, lessons and family workshops using high-quality resources to support a range of media-literacy activities. The NewsWise programme in Birmingham aimed to support children in Years 5 and 6 (aged 9 to 11) and their families to: (1) Better understand and navigate news, including increasing their ability to identify mis- and disinformation; (2) Develop their interest in news, including experiencing the news together; (3) Feel confident to speak up for themselves and others. Additionally, through teacher training, NewsWise aimed to increase teachers' skills and confidence when teaching critical media and news literacy. The project was evaluated by the National Literacy Trust. To help evaluate impact, children and teachers were asked to complete pre- and post-project training, and workshop and project surveys. In addition, families were invited to complete post-workshop feedback forms. Findings suggest that the intervention was successful in terms of reaching the objectives, including supporting children and families to better understand and navigate the news, which included identifying mis- and disinformation, increasing interest in news and helping children feel more confident to advocate for themselves and others.
