Abstract
This teaching note provides an introduction to the nascent field of news literacy and describes one small BSW program's approach to integrating news literacy into the social work curriculum to develop students' interest, knowledge, and ability to think critically about current events of relevance to social welfare policy. Sample assignments, grading rubrics, and experiential and multimedia classroom activities used by the author are presented. Social work program administrators and faculty are encouraged to recognize the importance of news literacy in social work education and to consider ways to incorporate news literacy into their own curricula. Resources are provided for social work educators and students who would like to learn more about news literacy.
