Preparing Youth for a World of Infinite Information
In today’s information-saturated world, media fluency is as essential as reading or math. Yet a 2024 News Literacy Project survey found that only 39% of U.S. teens receive formal media literacy education, and just 18% can accurately distinguish news from ads, opinion, or entertainment.
