In an increasingly digital world, information transfers faster than ever. And while this is a good thing, the challenge now comes in sifting through a myriad of information and identifying what is credible.
For 73-year-old Nerio Salaveria, learning how to spot misinformation is a powerful skill that helps him and his community make informed decisions.
“I used to have such a hard time understanding what is mis/disinformation. With so much information available on social media, it's hard to decipher what's true and what's not, especially for people my age who are used to just taking information as is. Even the elderly in my community get confused by consuming news on the internet–they believe everything just because it's on social media,” Mr. Salaveria said.
