The US television network CBS visited a school in Helsinki, Finland, to learn about media education for fourth graders.
The CBS News Sunday Morning show, which aired last weekend, lauded the critical media skills of 10-year-olds, which help them to spot fake news.
"Media literacy must be considered a civic skill," former education minister and current MEP Li Andersson (Left) told the programme.
CBS journalist Chris Livesay said that Finland's media literacy was born out of necessity, since the country is Russia's neighbour.
He highlighted Russia's disinformation campaign about irregular troop movements to the border and sowing tension over migration. This section featured a 2009 clip of Speaker of Parliament Jussi Halla-aho (Finns) speaking in English.
"Finnish cities will be surrounded by a ring of burning ghettoes," Halla-aho said in the clip.
The programme showcased Finland as the number one country in the world for media literacy.
Last year, Finland topped an index maintained by the Bulgarian Open Society Institute for the sixth time.
CBS is a US partner of Yle, the Finnish Broadcasting Company.
