I am editing this page to remove poor quality source material and replace it with more accurate information.

/* Censorship & Propaganda Controversy */  I removed false and misleading information from the poor-quality source (Media Research Center and Daily Wire) and replaced it with more reliable information from the Boston Globe and Providence Business News.

Courageous Rhode Island

When the U.S. federal government identified media literacy as a strategy to help reduce the fear and hate that leads to violence, Professor Hobbs developed Courageous Rhode Island.^[1] Three programs included:

Courageous Conversations: dialogue and discussion program for adults, addressing topics including preventing violent extremism; hate speech, free speech and censorhip; conflict entrepreneurs, influencers; and preventing radicalization.

Courageous Professional Development: a program for middle-school, high school and college educators exploring how to integrate media literacy, active listening, kindness and compassion, and community engagement.

Courageous Youth Media Contest: a program for middle-school, high school, and college students involving media production in print, video, audio, and graphic design.

Of the 22 programs held for Courageous Conversations, 81% of participants reported that they were able to use what they learned in the program in everyday life.

On January 17, 2024, The Media Research Center, "one of the most active and best funded" conservative media outlets, published a report on Courageous RI that is critical of the use of federal funds for anti-disinformation education programs, accusing the program of political bias.^[2] Within days, the conservative media ecosystem re-published their report to dozens of right-wing websites.
