The past decade has seen extraordinary change in the information landscape, along with new challenges in mis- and disinformation. As students enter university and become even more engaged as citizens of the world, there is great potential to develop robust media literacy education. One large, public research university embraced this opportunity by creating a space for research, conversation, and collaboration with an on-campus media literacy conference. Media literacy education often revolves around simply teaching students how to interrogate and verify information. By making students active researchers on the impacts and reach of mis- and disinformation, this conference generated more meaningful media literacy education opportunities. Presented at ACRL 2025.
