Reading news enriches our life and offers great educational values. Covering a wide range of topics at different levels, news provides a rich resource for students to enhance language and personal development. This leaflet aims to introduce strategies for enhancing secondary students’ media and information literacy through promoting news reading and designing a school-based news literacy programme, thereby building students’ solid language and world knowledge foundation and promoting Language and Reading across the Curriculum. The effective practices adopted by two secondary schools in promotion of news reading are also featured in the leaflet for reference.
