Books That Build Critical Thinking for All Ages
With an increasingly complex online landscape, boosting your understanding of information, news and media has never been more important. Improving your media literacy allows you to think more critically about information and navigate the digital world safely.
Thanks to our partnership with The Guardian Foundation and funding from Ofcom, we have not only been able to host children's NewsWise workshops but are also introducing this collection to support navigating the media landscape.
