Media literacy - the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, create and act using all forms of communication - allows individuals to become well-informed citizens. Media literate people have the ability to assess reliable information, are less likely to fall for false information, and know the questions to ask when consuming information about elections. Having a well informed citizenry helps our elections stay secure.
