I Talked to Teenagers About Conspiracy Theories, Hereโ€™s What They Told Me Covington: For students who watched the viral social media response to a classmateโ€™s death, news literacy is key.

NLP's @hannahcov.bsky.social spoke with 12 high school students about news habits & what itโ€™s like trying to find credible info online.

Said Kelsey Perry, 18, of seeing conspiracy theories everywhere: โ€œIt gets to the point where itโ€™s kind of hard not to believe some of them."

A social media post reads, โ€œThe 200-foot statue of Jesus on the White House lawn is complete, standing tall as a reminder that no government, no leader, no law is greater than the KING of KINGS. :latin_cross::us: HIS shadow now falls over the White Houseโ€ and includes a video that appears to show a large Jesus statue near the White House. The News Literacy Project has added a label that says โ€œAI-GENERATED VIDEO.โ€

A social media post reads, โ€œThe 200-foot statue of Jesus on the White House lawn is complete, standing tall as a reminder that no government, no leader, no law is greater than the KING of KINGS. :latin_cross::us: HIS shadow now falls over the White Houseโ€ and includes a video that appears to show a large Jesus statue near the White House. The News Literacy Project has added a label that says โ€œAI-GENERATED VIDEO.โ€

โŒ NO: This is not from an authentic video of a large Jesus statue on the White House lawn. It's AI-generated.

Tips for debunking such a falsehood:
1 - Go to the source. The account posts AI content.
2 - Do a search. Are there credible news reports?
