For nearly a decade, concerns about misinformation influencing U.S. elections have grown. As modern elections are increasingly characterized by overwhelming amounts of information, trust in the media is at an all-time low, with people across the political spectrum reporting low confidence in the mass media's ability to report the news "fully, accurately, and fairly" (Brenan, 2024, para. 8). Voters with high literacy can struggle to make sense of information online, and those with lower literacy may face even greater challenges. To prepare people to discern credible political information and make informed choices, there must be more opportunities to incorporate digital media literacy into basic adult literacy training. Universities and other community institutions have an important role in helping people navigate the onslaught of political information during election cycles and beyond. Learning experiences that foster critical thinking, dialogue, and fact-checking skills can better equip voters, specifically older adults and adults with lower levels of literacy, with the knowledge and skills to more objectively weigh information and positions on hot-button issues.
