A better digital world starts with us

Working in partnership with experts from across the Asia Pacific region, We Think Digital provides resources to build a global community of responsible digital citizens equipped with skills for a digital world.

What is Digital Citizenship & Why does it matter?

Digital citizenship is how we navigate our privileges and obligations in this new space. It is how we decipher and share information we have access to, and most importantly, how we interact with other people. We all play a part in creating responsible digital citizens and building a brighter digital future.

2 Measuring News Literacy
To establish a proxy measure of news literacy, Reuters Institute asked respondents three factual questions. Each probed a different dimension of how the news is made. The questions were multiple choice with a single correct answer. Each respondent’s level of news literacy was determined by the number of correct answers they were able to provide. Of course, three questions cannot accurately measure exactly how knowledgeable a person is about an issue as complex and multifaceted as news production. However, they can be used to establish a reliable proxy, and there is a long history of the use of factual questions in survey research to establish knowledge levels among respondents.
