We scroll through tons of information everyday, but most of us do not always consciously go through them. But with the proliferation of digital media platforms, media literacy has grown in importance in the 21st century. 

Just recently, a survey by global market research firm Milieu Insight found that almost four in five Singapore students aged below 18 believe that their schools should include media literacy classes in the curriculum, and are mixed on current efforts such as games. 

On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr Carol Soon, Principal Research Fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies and Vice Chair of the Media Literacy Council shares her insights on how we can better discern the information we’re seeing online, and what can be done to build an eye for fake news.
