Media literacy: How Gen Z influencer Kelsey Russell is getting her generation hooked on print media

Slate  

It’s been a bleak year for the media. Recently, Russell created a TikTok series chronicling what she learns each day from reading the New York Times’ physical newspaper. As one commenter on her videos put it: “All of us in journalism trying to figure out how to get people to care about news and she just saved journalism in like a 30 second video.” I recently caught up with Russell to talk about Gen Z’s search for media literacy and her valiant effort to make reading print media cool again. When people say we don’t have media literacy, I think what they’re saying is that we don’t know where our information comes from, or what information we’re getting. And I think it’s about getting print media caught up to what Gen Z wants to see.
