We can't solve misinformation without media literacy

At long last, it's become clear in media and technology circles that upgrading our information supply, while crucial, is not enough to solve the misinformation crisis. We also need to upgrade ourselves -- on the demand side -- to be more adept users of information, as consumers, sharers, and creators. And we need to do it at scale. New approaches and projects are under way in education and media, and platform companies are investing more time and money on the demand side. No one believes this will solve the problem, but there's reason to hope it will make a genuine difference.
