🚩 Distorting current events
🚩 Supplying wrong answers as chatbots
🚩 Impersonating audio

Reminder that charts & ratings of alleged bias in news are not, themselves, "objective" & should always be questioned. Some of the most popular have deeply flawed methodologies that yield some truly absurd (and harmful) "ratings" that exacerbate rather than diminish misconceptions about journalism.

Does your #SpotifyWrapped contain an AI song? And would you be able to tell if a friend's top song was AI-generated? Yes, these are questions worth asking in 2025.

It’s a really good day to support news literacy!

#GivingTuesday
✨ After completing Checkology® lessons during the 2024-25 school year, 88% of students recognized when a social post failed to provide credible evidence for a claim — a 20-point gain from before they started.

This is possible for millions more students with your help!

😠 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:

- Pause
- Take a deep breath
- And do a fact-check

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.”

These results are shocking. But luckily, @newslit.org helps educators turn these numbers around. #newsliteracy
1/ 🚨Our NEW study paints a shockingly bleak picture of how teens view the press. It also illustrates that there is a chasm between what teens think is going on in newsrooms versus what happens every day at credible outlets.
