I personally enjoyed the news literacy workshop the most because as an aspiring journalist it really resonated with me. I not only found the workshop to be very helpful but interesting as well. You would think that you can trust what you hear on the news but in reality you cannot always trust what you hear. This workshop really taught me that it is important to check your sources no matter how reliable they seem to be. This is currently a very important lesson for me being a college student because I know I’m going to face many situations where I need to evaluate a source. As well as being an important lesson for right now this workshop will definitely help me in the future because as a journalist one of the most important aspects of my job is going to be to evaluate sources and make sure that they are reliable. Distributing false or incorrect information in the journalism field is a disastrous career move that one never wants to make so I definitely think that this workshop was helpful.

I feel that this workshop was my favorite because I was able to connect to the most out of all the others. I feel like it fit right into my field of interest being that the speaker works for the journalism department and the workshop was directly related to journalism. I also think it is my favorite because I think it taught a lesson that I believe can be helpful to everyone, not only students, and not only people interested in journalism.
