Still in New York, Bryce meets with the News Literacy Project’s Darragh Worland, and compares media literacy education notes with the Poynter Institute’s Brittani Kollar. And against a backdrop of government cuts to public broadcasting and media companies buckling to political pressure, he sits down with Michelle Lipkin who’s built a nationwide community of digital literacy educators, inspired by her own painful experience as a victim of one of the worst terrorist attacks the world has ever seen.
