Despite concerns about misinformation and false claims, social media users around the world continue to believe that the information they read and share on platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook is factually correct, with emerging economies having the highest levels of trust.
The Matter of Fact, a study conducted by Oxford University Press (OUP), the world's largest university press, examines how people around the world seek out and evaluate information. The study draws on a body of evidence supplemented by survey data collected from 5,000 people in the United Kingdom, the United States, South Africa, India, and Mexico.
We live in an age of information overload. But how do we know what information to trust, and where should we go to find the facts? This global research report from Oxford University Press examines fact-finding in today's world.

But if we use up everything that the Earth gives us, then we won’t have anything left to use. So, we need to reduce, reuse and recycle!
