Schools can combat misinformation and promote critical media literacy by integrating media literacy programs into the curriculum. Educators should teach students how to analyze sources, recognize bias, and evaluate the credibility of information. Utilizing real-world examples can help students practice these skills and understand the implications of misinformation. Additionally, fostering a questioning mindset encourages students to think critically about the media they consume. Schools can also collaborate with local media organizations to provide workshops and resources that empower students with practical tools for discerning reliable information from false narratives.
