Responding to Health Misinformation: A Media Literacy Approach (Thu 30 Jul)

Responding to Health Misinformation: A Media Literacy Approach (Thu 30 Jul)

Event Description

While the internet provides considerable opportunities to access and share information, it also increases people’s exposure to misinformation. It is increasingly difficult to determine the trustworthiness of the media in our environment, which is of particular concern in the field of health. Evidence suggests health misinformation is having real-world widespread negative consequences.

This talk explores how a media literacy approach can help organisations, community groups and citizens respond to the challenge that misinformation poses. It draws on findings from a 3-year research study that partnered with four public cultural institutions: Australian Library and Information Association, ABC Education, Museum of Australia Democracy and the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia.
