Media Literacy:

Media literacy is an all encompassing term for the ability to think critically and analyze information presented in the mass media.  With the rise of A.I., media literacy is the most powerful tool that humans have left in the digital age.  For every source that you read think: Who created it? 
Why did they create it? 
What is their evidence?

Some sources to ask about are: Blogs and personal websites: the content is often based on personal opinions and not facts.  An example of this would be a health and fitness blog site. 
Social media posts: the information can be posted by anyone without citations, and spreads rapidly.  An example of this would be Instagram or YouTube videos. 
Forums: are edited by groups, are prone to inaccuracies, and lack editorial control.  An example of this would be Reddit. 
More reputable sources are: Peer reviewed journals: are published articles vetted by other experts of the same field.  An example of this would be the Journal of the American medical Association (JAMA). 
University press books: a publication from an academic publisher tied to a university.  An example of this would be a publication by Harvard University. 
Government report: a formal document from a governing body.  An example of this would be the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
