In 2017, Graber received the "2017 Media Literacy Teacher Award" from the National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE). She is a regular contributor to Psychology Today and other publications, and has appeared widely in the media, including on the Today Show, NBC Nightly News, and others. She's been an Adjunct Professor of Media Psychology, presents to schools and community organizations across the US, and conducts teacher workshops.
