Statement

As technology evolves, more news circulates on digital platforms daily, reshaping the demands of media literacy. Most research targets younger generations, overlooking older adults who often face unique challenges in evaluating online news. This gap underscores the need for tailored approaches to strengthen their digital news literacy and civic engagement. This pictorial presents a design project focused on the needs and preferences of older adults in learning these skills. Through research and testing, it offers an evidence-based, accessible solution that helps older adults navigate digital information, avoid misinformation, and safeguard their voice in society.
