Today on Lake Effect, we explore news literacy, what it means, and how it can help people better understand a rapidly changing news environment. We hear the story of two brothers from Afghanistan now living in Milwaukee, and how a pause on federal funding to refugees could affect people like them. Plus, we explore the history of Latinos in Wisconsin, and the intersection of faith and belonging.
