The useful ideas project

Let’s encourage our friends and family to analyse the media!

This website is a (hopefully mildly entertaining) mix of bite-sized ideas, notions, concepts and quotes that I’ve found to be useful.

The underlying aim of this website is to highlight a few accessible explanations, tools and resources for those looking to encourage their friends and family to analyse the media they consume, to think more critically.

I’m a former journalist/producer that’s trying to write simply and briefly. I’m trying to avoid using dense academic language and being too humourless*.

Let me know about your favourite media literacy resources and I’ll add them to my list.

Thanks for visiting,

Ciarán.

P.s. This page has been expanded as a reaction to the news that Meta is to get rid of factcheckers and recommend more political content.

*No promises. I’ll try.
