A recent study out of Columbia University concluded that most Americans can tell the difference between fake and real news, with media literacy as the key predictor.
Another team of researchers from NYU and Stanford found that searching for quality news can lead people to succumb to misinformation, suggesting a paradox in media literacy efforts.
The contradiction in these findings illustrates a complex landscape of misinformation, where access to quality news is crucial, yet the pursuit of it can mislead individuals.
As the U.S. presidential election season approaches, the risk of encountering fractured views on politics is heightened, creating a challenging environment for discussions.
