Description: "Keeping up with the news is a crucial aspect of citizenship. This book provides young leaders with the right tools to make sense of our 24-hour news cycle. Whether it's advice about reading a local newspaper, engaging with blogs online, or going to the library to find recent books on an important issue, this book steers readers towards finding and evaluating sources of information. Examples of reliable and unreliable sources throughout this volume help crystallize the importance of this life skill."--Publisher website.
