1. A method for improving media literacy in a person in need thereof comprising:
a) obtaining, by a computer, information associated with a user's selection of a news source item for review by the user on a user device display, wherein the user-selected news source item describes a user-selected news event or topic;
b) identifying, by the computer, one or more additional news source items describing the user-selected news event or topic, wherein the identification is by analyzing a corpus of news sources for the one or more additional news source items that also describe the user-selected news event or topic;
c) generating, by the computer, a collection of news source items each describing the user-selected news event or topic, wherein the collection of news source items comprises the user-selected news source item and the one or more additional news source items identified in the corpus of news sources as also describing the user-selected news event or topic;
d) displaying, by the computer, one or more of the user-selected news source items in the collection of news source items on the user device display;
e) configuring, by the computer, each of the displayed news source items in the collection of news source items for user selection and review; and
f) providing, by the computer, instructions to the user associated with evaluation of some or all of the displayed news source items in the collection of news source items, wherein the user instructions are associated with user-identification of a presence or absence of bias, skew, or viewpoint in one or more of the news source items in the collection of news source items.
