Digital News Literacy and Participatory Journalism

Digital News Literacy and Participatory Journalism empowers readers to confidently navigate the complexities of the modern news landscape in an era defined by information overload and questionable content. The book begins by exploring fundamental principles of journalism, highlighting its vital role in democratic societies and emphasizing the importance of understanding journalistic standards in cultivating digital news literacy. By learning to identify relevant sources and differentiate between facts, opinions, and misinformation, readers are better prepared to make informed decisions about their lives. Investigating the key challenges of the digital news ecosystem, this book focuses on false and misleading content. It makes clear definitions and provides examples of misinformation, disinformation, mal-information, and fake news. Subsequent sections outline strategies for recognizing and resisting false content through critical thinking and informed media consumption. Pantic acknowledges an increased exchange of viewpoints online and discusses the nuances of opinion journalism and argument culture. This discussion then shifts focus to participatory journalism, where citizens contribute to the production and dissemination of news. Increased participation in storytelling in a digitized ecosystem encourages greater public engagement and accountability. Finally, the book addresses the impact of artificial intelligence on news production and consumption, exploring both its potential and risks in shaping our understanding of the contemporary news environment.
