MediaWise is a partnership between Poynter, Google.org, the Stanford History Education Group, Local Media Association and others, MediaWise will feature a research-based curriculum to be taught in classrooms and a teen-led fact-checking initiative. YouTube creators like Ingrid Nilsen, the Green Brothers and Destin Sandlin from Smarter Every Day will help this project reach its goal of 1 million students, with at least 50 percent coming from underserved or low-income communities.
Professional fact-checkers and platforms alone cannot solve the problem of rampant online misinformation. There are too many hoaxsters and too many opportunists. To fully combat the spread of misinformation online, we must teach a new generation to be fact-checkers.
