Special Edition: Teens, Trust & Truth - New Data on News Literacy


Listen Later

A new national survey shows many teens don't trust the news. It found, for example, many underestimate how often journalists follow ethical standards and overestimate how often newsrooms make things up. Today's guest is Peter Adams from the News Literacy Project. He explains what the data really shows, why young people may be so skeptical, and how to tell credible reporting from everything else online. We also talk about AI's impact on the information landscape, and why recognizing good journalism matters just as much as spotting misleading content. Plus: what gives him hope about Gen Z and Gen Alpha, and what all of us can do to help strengthen trustworthy news in our communities.
