Sticking to the Facts. Gregor Craigie. 2026. 126 Pages. (Ebook on Libby .). (4 Hours.).

This British journalist has written this timely booklet targeting the relatively naive early teen or even preteen reader bombarded with information from various social media sites. Most of the advice would be considered to be basic common sense by sophisticated readers, but that seems to be a rare commodity on social media sites.

He distinguishes misinformation from the more dangerous disinformation designed to deceive, sometimes for nefarious purposes, and gives examples of both. And he distinguishes between healthy skepticism and more harmful cynicism.

A simple little book well worth sharing and discussing with any teen.
