YouTube has evolved from being just a place to share cat and dog videos to a curated platform for sharing high-quality content in a variety of genres. Since the modern generation grew up watching the growth of YouTube, they tend to turn to YouTube for news rather than tuning in to reputed news agencies, suggests a new survey.
“We live in a media-rich and time-poor world, and students are quickly scrolling and liking and sharing, and I think that’s part of the problem – just slowing down, thinking very carefully about what they’re seeing and also knowing how to determine if something is credible helps them be better digital citizens”, said Kelly Mendoza, senior director of education programs at Common Sense Media.
