More and more, news is visual. I'd bet my last dollar that VISUAL LITERACY IN NEWS is not included in this conference, or in Stony Brook's new hires to teach "news literacy". It's a new world, but the same old strategies:

This is really ironic that this News Literacy invitation has a mispelled word right in the title of the invitation!
I think I will pass on learning from this group!
