Anti-manipulative literacy for digital news reading
Description
This study focuses on the latest methods for countering global threats posed by digital news—online manipulation, hoaxes, and disinformation. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between individual information literacy and the “European Approach to Combating Online Disinformation,” published by the European Commission on April 26, 2018, which proposes a series of measures to counter the spread and consequences of online disinformation. The author expresses skepticism regarding some of the proposed solutions, namely: the adoption of political measures, the introduction of media self-regulation mechanisms, the initiation of government intervention in media activities, and internet regulation. As an alternative, the author proposes an individualistic approach to addressing the problems of each recipient of information—the reader, viewer, or listener. Three possible solutions to counter manipulation are outlined: improving the information and bibliographic literacy of adolescents; enhancing the digital bibliographic literacy of active citizens; and restoring the librarian’s role as a filter.
Keywords: information literacy, news literacy, news iliteracy, misinformation, disinformation, fake news, online news, anti-manipulative behavior, bibliographic intelligence, libraries, IFLA
Abstract (Bulgarian)
Обект на изследването са актуалните варианти на противодействие на глобалните заплахи в сферата на дигиталните новини – онлайн манипулация, невярна информация и дезинформация. Целта е да се направи оценка на взаимоотношенията между личната информационна грамотност и европейския подход за борба с дезинформацията в интернет, публикуван от Европейската комисия на 26 април 2018 г., който предлага серия от мерки за справяне с разпространението и въздействието на онлайн дезинформацията. Авторката аргументира своя скептицизъм относно предложенията за справяне с проблема чрез политически мерки, чрез саморегулация на медиите или чрез държавна намеса в регулацията на медиите и интернет. Предложението на автора е за индивидуален подход за решаване на проблемите на отделния реципиент – читателя, зрителя, слушателя. Формулирани са три възможни решения за антиманипулативно поведение: целенасочено повишаване на информационно-библиографската грамотност на подрастващите, култивиране на дигитална библиографска интелигентост сред активните граждани и реабилитиране на функцията на библиотекаря като „филтър“.
