Teens see more news through social media than almost anywhere else. That includes content about elections, candidates, and current events. Some of it is accurate. Some of it is misleading, edited, or completely made up.
Before you believe it or share it, ask:
Where did this come from? Can I find the original source?
Is this news, opinion, an ad, or a joke?
Can I confirm it somewhere else that's reliable?
Could this clip or image be edited, cropped, or AI-generated?
Is this post trying to inform me, or just get a reaction?
These skills matter even more as you become a voter. Knowing how to spot fake news and misleading content helps you make your own informed decisions.
Turning 18 soon? Michigan residents ages 16 to 17½ can preregister to vote at Michigan.gov/Vote, so you're ready when you're eligible.
Being media literate isn't just for election season. It's a skill you'll use every time you open an app.
