Media of all genres shapes our lifestyles, opinions, political views, and how we tend to our civic responsibilities. Now more than ever, consumers are inundated with digital media, news, and information that’s often distributed and reposted without fact-checking or any investigative reporting. For us to have autonomy in a world inundated with AI, deepfakes, and corporate and political agendas that drive mainstream news, we need to continuously cultivate our critical thinking skills. Through media literacy training consumers have an opportunity to evolve into interrogators. This is part and parcel to peace, justice, and building a better world together.
