Edited by Divina Frau-Meigs and Nicoleta Corbu
Disinformation Debunked: Building Resilience through Media and Information Literacy examines how media and information literacy (MIL) can address disinformation in conjunction with fact-checkers and developers, to benefit from the expertise of these fields in fighting disinformation.
The book highlights the underlying stakes in the fight against disinformation, from producing smart tools to generalizing their use beyond the journalistic profession. It considers the MIL theories and methodologies at work in the digital era, especially from the perspective of digital visual literacy. Offering a comparative study of four European national experiences (France, Romania, Spain, and Sweden), the authors also make public policy recommendations to improve the fight against disinformation.
This publication is of great importance to students, scholars, and educators working on media and information literacy, digital media, journalism, mass communication, misinformation and disinformation. It is available in Hardback and eBook (Amazon Kindle and Taylor & Francis eBooks) formats.
This book has 10 chapters organised into three sections:
- Section 1: Fighting disinformation from a theoretical perspective.
- Section 2. Fighting disinformation from a practical perspective.
- Section 3. Fighting mis- and disinformation from a policy-making perspective.
