The Media Landscape – What Do You (and your students) Need to Know

Presented by UAB Libraries

A Center for Teaching and Learning event

Description: Explore how today’s media is produced, distributed, and monetized. Learn how algorithms, platforms, ownership, and attention economies shape what students see and believe. Emphasis is on identifying credible sources, recognizing misinformation patterns, and understanding the role of news, entertainment, and user-generated content in shaping public knowledge.

lease Note: This workshop is designed for current UAB teaching faculty, instructors of record, academic advisors, and other student-facing staff members. Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are invited to attend the CTL LIFT series workshops instead.

Total CTL Point Value: 10,000 pts.
