Whom Do We Trust? The People!
Media literacy is based on the idea that human beings yearn for freedom and for agency - the freedom to think critically and independently, and to make decisions in their own interests and in the interests of their communities.

To explore ideas about why we SHOULD trust people and their decisions, we have focused on the field of experimental economics.
