    Media Literacy and Critical Thinking: A Conversation with Vanessa Otero

    This week on Bluestock Talk, Allison sits down with Vanessa Otero (creator of the Media Bias Chart and founder at Ad Fontes Media) to discuss really super simple life questions, such as: what is “truth,” who decides it, and why is it so hard to spot online? Vanessa breaks down how evidence actually works, teaches us about the RELI acronym, why vibes are not facts, and how lateral reading and fact-checking can save you from confidently sharing nonsense. We also get into trust, authenticity, and why misinformation spreads faster than the truth…plus a detour into medical devices, how MedTech improves lives, and why Media Literacy is synonymous with MedTech Literacy. Spoiler: everyone has bias…learning to see it is the real superpower. Takeaways Evidence is the most important factor in determining truthLateral reading and fact-checking are essential for verifying informationCritical thinking involves default skepticism and asking why something might not be true Trust and authenticity are key factors in media consumption.The impact of medical devices on people's lives can be significant.
