A 2019 Stanford study found that 96% of high school students failed to challenge the credibility of an unreliable source.
So we caught up with students at Rockford High School where they have their own broadcast journalism program, âBeyond the Rockâ that is already instilling these skills in their students so they can have a leg up on that statistic.
âWe really fact check everything. We don t just find one thing and then just go with it. We are constantly checking for sources and to make sure that we keep our reputation strong,â says Hannah Butzer, Beyond the Rock, Associate producer.
