Schools are closed, and students are home. What do teens do during a pandemic? Some are becoming expert fact-checkers through a program called the Teen Fact-Checking Network. The program teaches students digital literacy skills to help them spot misinformation and disinformation online. Angie Li, a student in the program, walks us through her fact check of a viral TikTok video.

The Teen Fact-Checking Network is a part of MediaWise, where our host, Hari Sreenivasan, serves as an ambassador.
