The benefits include growing our economy, helping students learn, and allowing Missourians to access health care. But Hannibal State Representative Louis Riggs says digital literacy has been overlooked.

During a House committee hearing, Riggs says some Kansas City nonprofits are helping residents with digital literacy, by setting up an online profile to search for jobs and to access telehealth services.
