Rebooting Media Education for the Algorithmic Age
As AI and social media rewrite how stories are produced, verified, and shared, journalism and media education face an existential test. A UNESCO survey found that 62% of digital creators skip rigorous fact-checking, while a 2024 YouGov study showed only 27% of young adults feel confident about AI in education. How can schools, platforms, and educators close these gaps — embedding ethics, data literacy, and critical thinking into curricula designed for a world that never stops scrolling?
