Most Americans rely on social media to check daily headlines Yet as distrust has risentoward all media, people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills Such a trend isbadly needed.During the 2016 presidential campaign, nearly a quarter of web content sharedby Twitter users in the politically critical state of Michigan was fake news, according to theUniversity of Oxford And a survey conducted for BuzzFeed News found 44 percent of Facebookusers rarely or never trust news from the media giant.
Young people who are digital natives are indeed becoming more skillful at separating factfrom fiction in cyberspace.A Knight Foundation focus-group survey of young people betweenages 14and24 found they use “distributed trust” to verify stories They cross-check sourcesand prefer news from different perspectives—especially those that are open about any bias “Many young people assume a great deal of personal responsibility for educating themselvesand actively seeking out opposing viewpoints,” the survey concluded.
Such active research can have another effect A 2014 survey conducted in Australia,Britain, and the United States by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that young people’ s reliance on social media led to greater political engagement.
Social media allows users to experience news events more intimately and immediately whilealso permitting them to re-share news as a projection of their values and interests.This forcesusers to be more conscious of their role in passing along information A survey by Barnaresearch group found the top reason given by Americans for the fake news phenomenon is“reader error,” more so than made-up stories or factual mistakes in reporting About a thirdsay the problem of fake news lies in “misinterpretation or exaggeration of actual news” viasocial media In other words, the choice to share news on social media may be the heart of theissue “This indicates there is a real personal responsibility in counteracting this problem,” saysRoxanne Stone, editor in chief at Barna Group.
