Manage episode 425238714 series 5385
The internet and social media has been a double edged sword for news and journalism.
It's given a voice to communities that weren't often heard in the mainstream and enabled individuals and small collectives to report on news that would never have been covered otherwise.
But a lot of what you see on social media isn't actually true and the algorithms that control our feeds have tended to prioritise engagement over accuracy.
With many children and teenagers getting their news from social media, is it time for media literacy to be added to the school curriculum?
