Abstract
Truth Decay — the diminishing role that facts, data, and analysis play in political and civil discourse — appears to result, in part, from an increasingly complex information ecosystem. This report's authors explore the ways in which media literacy education may be used to counter Truth Decay by changing how participants consume, create, and share information.
