but why, though?

We could rant on and on about the harms of media illiteracy (and we do!), but we’ll spare you for now. In synopsis, media literacy helps combat the spread of problematic biases and false information in media. Together, insidious biases and misinformation hinder objectivity and potentially further extremist ideologies.

okay, but the newsletter?

Beyond being (in our opinion) quite enjoyable to read, our newsletter will help you acquire the knowledge and skills you need to become more media literate. We also spotlight student voices and offer extra informational resources! Each week, we will focus on one core topic, give analyses of recent news, and more. Oh, and it’s completely free, and, since we don’t market or sell products, you can expect zero ads or spam.

i’m still unsure…

That’s fair. If you want more information, see our About page and FAQs. Additionally, if you’d like to engage with Unskew without the newsletter, we are active on social media and may post additional content on our website!
