Book Time blog interviews Joyce Grant

“And lastly, if you’re a kid and you’re reading this book and TKN and you feel that spark of curiosity, a sense of excitement around the news and social media and you want to tell others about it… I want to welcome you to the field of journalism. Because kid, you’re probably a journalist. And I can’t wait to see what you do!”

I sat down with the good folks at Book Time in a wide-ranging interview about media literacy, my newest book (Can You Believe It?) and how to teach kids about news–and about fake news.

Thank you to Book Time for this fascinating set of in-depth questions that delve into the process of creating a non-fiction work as well as the importance of critical thinking.

Here’s the interview:
