SUMMARY:Newton History Series: 18th Century Media Literacy and Bias
DESCRIPTION:Media and information literacy are essential 21st century 
 skills in order to be an informed citizen. These are also skills that\, 
 when applied in a historical context\, help us become better historians. In 
 this discussion\, we will analyze perspective\, language and bias in 18th 
 century newspapers with a critical lens to learn how news was consumed in 
 Colonial America.\n\n \n\nAbout the speaker: Michele Gabrielson is a local 
 history teacher and historic interpreter of the 18th century. When she is 
 not teaching in the classroom\, Michele can be found leading tours\, 
 lectures\, and demonstrations at historic sites in the greater Boston area. 
 She specializes in interpreting the history of colonial women printers\, 
 the stories of loyalist refugees\, and of 18th century chocolate makers! 
 Most recently\, she has taken on building a first-person impression of the 
 revolutionary playwright and poet Mercy Otis Warren. Michele additionally 
 serves on several historical committees dedicated to helping preserve the 
 history of colonial America\, is a member of the Authenticity Standards 
 Committee for Minuteman National Historic Park\, and is the coordinator for 
 the Battle Road Guides for the annual reenactment of the Battle of 
 Lexington and Concord. She was recently awarded a 2024 Rising Star Award 
 for Public History by the Massachusetts History Alliance for her 
 programming titled\, “The Revolutionary Classroom\,” and named a 
 finalist for the 2024 Massachusetts History Teacher of the Year.\n\n 
 \n\nThis program is part of the Newton History Series\, co-sponsored by 
 Historic Newton and the Newton Free Library.
