😠 Did a social media post immediately evoke anger?
😁 Did a social media post immediately make you grin in agreement?
💡 Posts that tug at our emotions can cause us to share, like or comment without verifying the facts. Instead:

Teens overwhelmingly used negative words like "biased," "boring," "chaotic," and "bad" to describe the news media and journalists in a new @newslit.org survey.
Those doing the hard and important work of teaching media literacy to high schoolers are unsurprised. www.niemanlab.org/2025/11/bias...

“Biased,” “boring,” “chaotic,” and “bad”: A majority of teens hold negative views of news media, report finds
About half of the teens surveyed believe that journalists frequently “make up details, such as quotes” and “pay for sources.”
