KQED Learn was recently recognized as a leading organization working to tackle that problem. Chosen from a nationwide pool of applicants, KQED Learn was awarded the inaugural Misinformation Solutions Prize, a grant presented by the Rita Allen Foundation and RTI International in partnership with the Aspen Institute and designed to fuel the development of novel ideas to reduce the spread of misinformation. KQED Learn empowers educators to teach media literacy with award- winning content, such as the video series Above the Noise and an online platform for students to authentically share their learning. On KQED Learn, student inquiry begins with an Above the Noise video. Each video summarizes a timely topic with key facts while making the content relevant and entertaining to middle school and high school audiences. Then students research the topic for themselves and share their understanding by creating their own media — such as an article, an infographic or a video — that expresses their learning. Join KQED Learn in promoting media-savvy and engaged students by sharing our work with educators. learn.kqed.org Funding for KQED Learn is provided by the Koret Foundation, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, David Bulfer and Kelly Pope, the Silver Giving Foundation, the Stuart Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, the Rita Allen Foundation and the members of KQED.

Childish Gambino’s video touched on the issues of gun violence, mass shootings, racism and discrimination in the United States. Viewed hundreds of millions of times, the video also spawned worldwide cover versions from Nigeria to Iraq. A new documentary from the BBC, This Is 2018 examines the global impact of “This Is America” and asks those who made their own versions why they did so and how they chose their themes, offering insights into the issues that resonate in those countries.
