Thomson Reuters, in partnership with NAMLE, is excited to announce their annual media literacy contest for students and classrooms!
Thomson Reuters Media Literacy Contest
We live in an increasingly digital world – media is no longer just information we see or hear from journalists. Anyone has the ability to create and disseminate content, but it is not always done in a responsible or professional manner. Critical thinking and media literacy are key skills that are needed in today’s world. This year, we are asking students in the U.S. and Canada:
“How do you use media literacy skills when creating and sharing media?”
Students are invited to share their thoughts with us via video submission. We encourage teachers to leverage the resources we’ve created to present this as a learning opportunity in their classrooms.
Submission Guidelines
Submission Deadline Extended: November 1, 2022 at 5:00pm EDT
Eligible Participants: Middle and High School students from the United States and Canada
Judges: Staff from the National Association for Media Literacy Education and Thomson Reuters
Individual Submission Guidelines
We invite students to submit a video entry for consideration that answers the question, “How do you use media literacy skills when creating and sharing media?” Use an example in your submission and show us how you uncover fact vs. fiction!

- Express your thoughts directly to us in front of the camera OR
