What happens when kids get most of their “news” from Instagram and YouTube, and what can actually be done to improve their media literacy?

In this episode of The Churchill Changemakers, journalist Bryce Corbett joins host Michelle Ainsworth to unpack the urgent need for media literacy in Australia.

As a 2023 Churchill Fellow, Bryce shares how he created Newshounds, a free program helping primary students spot mis- and disinformation, and reflects on his travels as a Churchill Fellow through the US, UK and Europe during a tumultuous news cycle.

He also reveals what Australia can learn from global experts about teaching media literacy in schools-  why these critical thinking skills for kids can’t wait.

The focus for Season 3 is impact, which comes with a title change from The Churchill Collective to The Churchill Changemakers and a new batch of extraordinary people who received their Churchill Fellowships some years ago, to reveal their impact over time.

You'll hear stories on topics from 'media literacy for primary school children' to 'tobacco control', and from 'maintaining historical keyboard instruments' to 'public toilet taboos, design and policy'. 

So, what did these changemakers do with those powerful new ideas, and how have they driven impact locally? We invite you to listen to The Churchill Changemakers and find out.
