Description This article examines the effectiveness of guided peer discussion in building news media literacy. The findings of our longitudinal study indicate that this instructional approach increased students’ interest in news headlines, particularly among those with initially low interest. Furthermore, qualitative results show increased awareness of the quality and potential bias of news sources. We conclude that guided peer discussion is an effective means of promoting news media literacy.
