The San Diego Public Library is beginning a series of free programs that will focus on media literacy and will include discussions on political reporting, investigative journalism and so-called fake news, starting with a virtual panel discussion featuring local journalists at 6 p.m. Monday night. The library is a place for information and education, and that education extends to the media that people consume every day, said Misty Jones, director of the San Diego Public Library. News comes at us fast these days, and by opening up a discussion about media literacy, the library hopes to encourage people to take a critical look at what they re reading and watching.
