Your News Diet & Your Mental Health in an AI Driven World

Thanks to social media and other channels, we see more news than ever before. It’s easy to let things pass us by without reflecting on or thinking critically about what we see. But as the information ecosystem becomes more complex with AI generated content, blurred lines between fact and fiction make intentional, reflective engagement with media all the more critical. This session will help you understand all the ways you interact with the news, reflect on what you learned (or didn’t learn) from those interactions, and understand how consuming the information made you feel. We’ll then explore how news consumption is related to mental health, and review strategies to help you strike a healthy balance that works for you.
