Would love your thoughtfulness on how to introduce the idea of media literacy to kids (5-10) How to help younger kids understand that everything is created by someone and how to think about the important aspects of The Source of what they are seeing/reading/hearing.

How do you consume news/media sustainably? Social media often has information first—sometimes not picked up by traditional outlets at all, but being at the whim of the algorithm is exhausting.

How do you diplomatically call something suspicious when it’s repeated by older relatives? Especially sensational or political news stories.

What are some of the pitfalls that educators run into when formally teaching media literacy at, say, a community college? How can we improve our media literacy together with our friends and comrades, in an informal way?

Oh! One more: How do you handle disagreements when you and a friend interpret the news differently?

With so many small news sources popping up, how do you vet them and their reporters? Also, can you talk about countering bullshit like Ground News and those other news bias charts.

As more "legacy" media outlets capitulate to fascist regimes while others, like the AP, put up some resistance but largely serve to normalize things, is there a point to stop consuming classically trusted new sources entirely?
