"
The large amounts of misinformation spread through news media and social media are simply destructive to a democratic society. The consequences are just too stark for not acting on global warming or avoiding vaccinations for children because of intentional and malicious disinformation campaigns, which continue to be more sophisticated and reach larger audiences through digital technology. Therefore, it has increasingly become important for people to differentiate between facts and falsities. Media literacy education is essential to keep people from making wrong decisions in everyday life and during elections that take much resources to negate harmful consequences.
