Peter Adams, Senior VP of Research at the News Literacy Project, dives into the alarming distrust teens have towards news media based on a new national survey. He explores why young people often misunderstand journalistic ethics and suggests that social media may be to blame. Peter emphasizes the need for strong news literacy education, highlighting ways to identify credible sources and the dangers of cynicism. With hope for Gen Z and Gen Alpha's media literacy aspirations, he calls for collective action to strengthen trust in journalism.
