Scroll Smarter
A family guide to news literacy.

Navigate the news. Scroll smarter — together

Is your teen getting their news and information from TikTok or Instagram? Can they tell what’s real and what’s not? The online world moves fast, but Scroll Smarter can help you and your family keep up.

Our free monthly newsletter gives parents and caregivers quick, helpful tips to make sense of today’s information overload. You’ll get smart, family-friendly tools to help your kids think more clearly about what they see online.

We deliver Scroll Smarter once a month, so it’s easy to keep up and never clutters your inbox.

This collage shows an example of what a Scroll Smarter issue may look like. It is not a published issue. The first issue will be published on Sept. 9.

What’s inside?

Scroll Smarter covers trending topics like social media, algorithms, influencers, journalism, viral rumors, artificial intelligence and more. Each issue includes easy-to-use tips, tools and advice — plus a Q&A section where families ask questions and share ideas for talking about news and information with kids and teens.
