  • 1. Sofia University

Description

The study focuses on the latest ways to oppose the global threats imposed by digital news – online manipulation, misinformation and disinformation. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationships between the personal information literacy and the European approach for Tackling Online Disinformation, published by European Commission on 26 April 2018, proposed a series of measures to tackle the spread and impact of online disinformation. The author voices her scepticism about some of the proposed resolutions, namely: taking political measures, imposing media self-regulatory mechanisms, initiating state intrusion into media and internet regulation. As an alternative the author offers an individualistic approach to resolving the problems of each recipient – the reader, the spectator, the listener. Three possible solutions for anti-manipulative behavior have been formulated: targeting teens’ information bibliographic literacy enhancement, raising the digital bibliographic intelligence of active citizens, restoring the function of the librarian as filter.
