Verification of information and fact-checking are valuable skillsets that help journalists and fact-checkers to provide timely service to citizens in crisis, such as the COVID-19 infodemic. But we need more. We need resilient citizens who are equipped with some of these skills themselves. Media education in schools aims to provide such knowledge, but often there is no time to wait for educational curricula to be developed and implemented. In such a case, we need journalists and fact-checkers to deploy a full counter-disinformation package: monitor -> factcheck -> debunk -> publish -> educate.
In this session, we will use concrete case studies from the COVID-19 infodemic to demonstrate and discuss the methods of improving the media literacy of our communities during emergencies. You will also learn how to turn such experiences into attractive educational modules for schools. We will work together to provide very concrete and practical inspiration if you would like to produce stories about disinformation.
