🔍 Navigating truth in a world of misinformation.

Learn how to sharpen your media and financial literacy for a smarter future.

The battle against misinformation.

A recent study from Columbia University revealed that most Americans can differentiate between fake and real news.

The study emphasizes that the key factor in this ability is an individual’s regular exposure to credible news sources. To effectively combat misinformation, we need to enhance media literacy across all demographics.

However, a separate study from NYU and Stanford found that when people rely heavily on online resources to evaluate the truth, they can become more susceptible to misinformation.

These findings highlight an important truth: while trustworthy news sources are essential for avoiding misinformation, navigating the vast amount of online information can sometimes mislead us.

While misinformation tends to spike during election periods, trust in media remains low year-round. This distrust has spread to institutions like government and religious organizations, and social media often amplifies these sentiments.

As a society, we’ve moved away from traditional gatekeepers in media, communication, and even music, believing that we are the best judges of what’s true. But it’s important to remember that not all ideas are equal, and everyone has blind spots.

The key to fighting misinformation lies in becoming more discerning—being careful readers, critical thinkers, and active listeners. It takes time and practice, but it’s a skill worth mastering.

At Visa Solutions, we believe that financial literacy is just as important as media literacy for building a brighter future. If you’re ready to invest confidently in the American real estate market, explore our Invest by Visa Solutions program.
