Essentially all media today is digital, so when we talk about digital media literacy, we really mean media literacy. 

If you haven’t developed a strong sense of digital media literacy you are certainly more susceptible to fall for misinformation.

Typically people who aren’t terribly media literate aren’t aware of that fact. They think they’re doing perfectly fine.

The Dunning Kruger effect states that basically that the less you know about something the more confident you are that you know enough about it.

I think most people who aren’t media literate will say ‘Yeah, I’m perfectly media literate,’ right and so how do you get people to change that behavior?

People in their communities need to show them the value and the importance of being media literate.

It’s showing that different publications have different, if not outright, biases, different areas of focus, different perspectives they take, they’re staffed by different people. You’re getting people’s core beliefs, of saying, the place you’re given your information is intentionally misleading to you, and that’s a really hard conversation to have. 

People aren’t going to change their behavior just because they think it’s a good idea. At least not typically, they’ll change their behavior because they see other people in communities that care about changing their behavior for a reason that resonates with them.
