Media - From headlines to reality
The advancement of science and the diffusion of information is the best aliment to true liberty. – James Madison
As the most widespread form of communication, mass media are all around us. It is inevitable to use them every day, but do you actually know how to use them properly? Have you heard of terms like clickbait or fake news, and how to recognize them?
This workshop will guide you through all types of mass media and help you distinguish real from fake news or clickbait, but there is even more to discover on this particular topic.
Social media represents the bond between interpersonal communication and mass media and is an important part of today’s society. Instagram, Tik Tok, Twitter, etc. have brought us many useful tools and opportunities to freely express ourselves and our thoughts, but where is the borderline between hate speech and freedom of speech?
Throughout this workshop, you will broaden your horizons about media literacy and learn why it is important and how not to get lost in a deep sea of information that surrounds us. Therefore, do not miss this fantastic opportunity for a journey from the headlines to reality and apply for ISWiB 2023!
