It might not last forever! Not the union of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, of course. We all know it’s a love story. But if you’re looking for links to add to your scrapbook, you might find some blank spaces online. 💍💎🎤

50 kids missing in Virginia?! Viral TikToks say so, but here’s the truth: it’s NOT LEGIT. Emotional videos + scary captions ≠ facts. If a huge story isn’t making national headlines, it’s worth checking out. Don’t share panic, share facts.

People online are claiming there are giant human-sized birds in Peru, and the comments are wild. Is it a person in a bird suit… or an actual Andean condor? 🧐
I paused to take a screenshot and do a reverse image search. What would you do?

📣Yes, we know the memes are getting old, but we too have a Coldplay kiss-cam update. Did Andy Byron’s wife REALLY post that “formal statement” addressing the situation? Teen fact-checker Sophia reads upstream and finds… it’s NOT legit. 👀💥Verify before you share!

Did you see the viral clip of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis saying it’s okay to hit protesters with your car in that state? Were you as shocked as us when we came across it? That’s not exactly what he said. A viral podcast clip leaves out key context around a complicated law. When it comes to free speech and public safety, one hot take doesn’t tell the whole story. We rate this as a Mixed Bag. 🚗💥🧐💥

What is MediaWise?

MediaWise is a groundbreaking digital media literacy project that’s teaching millions of teens nationwide.

When the project was first imagined, we hoped to teach 1 million American teenagers how to tell fact from fiction online. Today, our work has been seen on social media by 5 million and counting, and the curriculum is yet to be released!

Misinformation is everywhere. In fact, more than half of Americans admit to sharing made-up news online. Most of them didn’t know it was fake when they shared it.

It’s becoming more difficult to tell fact from fiction, even for teenagers who grew up with the internet.
