Abstract(s)
A rapidly changing media and information landscape coupled with an overabundance of online media platforms and sources of information requires that people are not only confident but also knowledgeable and critical users when searching for information. The right of citizens to access and benefit from a large range of information sources is key to the functioning of democratic societies as it allows for the exchange of divergent opinions and ideas. Information overload and the lack of effective ways to filter it, makes it even more necessary for individuals to be able to critically approach, assess and verify information and be more resilient against manipulation. Being media literate to find meaning for the world today is a complex but critical requirement that triggers an urgency for urgent accountability.
