From the News Literacy Project:
"Deeply rooted biases tempt people to quickly jump to conclusions when they see social media content that appears to confirm their preconceived beliefs. This is especially true when it paints political foes in an unflattering light. But viral social media posts rarely contain enough information to accurately convey complex realities and are often presented out of context and attached to baseless and sensational assertions. By practicing a little restraint and seeking out additional information, such as standards-based news coverage or a high-quality fact check, people can restore the necessary context to viral outrage posts."
News Literacy Project
The News Literacy Project works with educators and journalists to give students the skills they need to discern fact from fiction and to know what to trust.
