Paul and Adam discuss the 2022 midterm elections from earlier this week and how digital literacy, media literacy, information literacy, and news literacy can (and should) be brought to bear on how we engage with both politics and the broader media landscape. Often conversations surrounding election denial, "Stop the Steal," voter fraud, and other forms of election mis- and disinformation focus on the individual information consumer, but what about the social and structural  components that shape our relationship with media? What is the role of the community in developing well-informed citizens? And how are citizens supposed to stay informed when our most vital resources--time, energy, and attention--are sapped by information overload and the daily grind of just getting by?
