News Literacy Project Studies How to Integrate News Literacy Into Schools
To learn about teens’ information behaviors and mindsets, assess the state of news literacy education and identify ways to ensure young people become well-informed, critical thinkers, the News Literacy Project engaged SSRS, a full-service social science and market research firm, to conduct a nationally representative, probability-based online survey of 1,110 teens ages 13-18 in May 2024.
This research aims to inform educators and policymakers as they weigh how to best integrate news literacy in schools—and to help journalists and researchers better understand the needs of young people in this area. This report acts as a comprehensive overview of how teenagers think about, experience and engage with today’s information landscape.
