Everywhere you look, information is being presented to you and now more than ever, we have become aware that the information is not always accurate. So, it has become necessary to learn and take advantage of a growing number of resources that now make fact-checking easy for anyone.
âInformation is the basis for all of the decisions that we make. It is the basis for our civic agencies and our civic freedoms, and itâs a basis for democracy itself,â said Peter Adams, with the News Literacy Project. âSo, if we base decisions and ideas off of bad information, it can distort the democratic process and damage our communities and our families.â
