Learning About Issues

About this Topic:

This topic involves how we learn about issues.

For my Learning About Issues discussion guide, I use an adaptation of a Living Room Conversation (https://www.livingroomconversations.org/). Discussions organized by the Living Room Conversations organization usually have 6 people, but since they are open source I wrote a version for 2 people: LRC 2 people

Round two for Learning About Issues:

Answer one or more of the following:

• Which news sources do you like best and why?
• What does a healthy news and social media landscape look like? (This question is from the topic guide "Fake News" on the Living Room Conversations website.)
• How can we take in news without getting too upset?
• How much time would you want to spend learning about issues vs. other political actions such as researching candidates, voicing your opinion, or choosing actions?
