Very good article, Jenny, and if you/anyone would like to watch a short, excellent video about lateral reading, I highly suggest author John Green's work:

"Check Yourself with Lateral Reading" from Green's Crash Course: Navigating Digital Information (on YouTube)

Dear colleagues,

I am participating in KQED's mini-course about media literacy and I am learning a ton! I can't recommend them enough.
Visit: https://teach.kqed.org/media-academy-for-educators

Week 2 is focused on lateral reading and they shared an article about why this is the most effective strategy versus things like the CRAAP test and other checklists.

Thought I would pass this along - certainly worth thinking about.
