00:00We know that young people, they get their news from different social media outlets. We conducted
00:06a survey and we asked them, where do you get your news from? And so some of them said traditional
00:11media outlets, but a large majority were speaking about different Instagram platforms, social media,
00:17Twitter, TikTok. And we really wanted to highlight and show them how to fact check.
00:23And so a lot of those students, they were getting news and they're ready to post the thing they're
00:26doing, informing their students about what's happening and what's going on. But sometimes
00:31there's a level of misinformation where there is not too much of an intentional mix of trying to
00:39influence people or trying to share wrong information. But there's sometimes where they
00:44run into information that is intentionally trying to be shared, which is disinformation.
00:49The students have to know when to fact check. So I tell the students, check three before you share
00:53out. Look for those big outlets that you are a trustworthy outlet that you can inform your
00:59students on before you go push this out. And I know Megan Thee Stallion made a good video one day
01:04and said, watch out for the folks with the big font, the big font and white background. Don't be too
01:09quick to share those. So those are some of the things, but also with voter registration, students
01:14are, they understand the truth, but there's a missing piece sometimes of the full facts of how to
01:21register to vote. Understanding that we were encouraging our students to register to vote
01:26where you learn. You are a student there for four years. And a lot of students were saying that they
01:32were always told to submit absentee ballots, but we're not informed what that process looks like.
01:36How do I vote by mail? And so oftentimes when students are not encouraged to register to vote where
01:41they go to school at, they can possibly miss deadlines. They cannot understand the process of how to
01:46complete an application. And so we work with these students. And so we have to inform factual
01:51information. And when you inform factual information, that's not telling them to vote for a specific
01:56person, you allow them to think critically. And so with this information, we really try our best to
02:01inform them of how to fact check, but also make their own decisions in this process.
