Hi Ava, great article and I think you did a good job pointing to something that I thought was interesting in the readings. Who were the people that were actually most likely to be persuaded by false information? My guess would have been those who are the least politically engaged but as you point out in your article, it is the exact opposite. I think that its an important thing to point out as those who consume more political information to others may think they are immune to misinformation because of an assumption of their greater awareness.
your op-ed really dives deep into the chaos of fake news during elections. It's interesting to think about the impact these fabricated stories have on public perception and engagement. The studies presented here are eye-opening, especially the findings about age and political affiliation. And Paz's point about political engagement and susceptibility to misinformation totally resonates. It's like we're all caught in this whirlwind of information, trying to figure out what's real and what's fake. Your piece definitely drives home the importance of media literacy and fact-checking initiatives. Keep up the great work shedding light on this critical issue!
