Abstract
As MIL practitioners, we are expected to be critical evaluators of media
sources and information, thus this presentation aims to strengthen our
skills and attitudes to help us identify and evaluate the legitimacy of the source before we
do something about it; exemplify as role models to our students, peers, and family members by acknowledging facts rather than propagate misleading
information; and find ways to control infobesity when we are exposed to it.
