What is media literacy, how do we get information, and how should we communicate online to always stay safe? These issues were discussed together with a group of volunteers from the \u201cUniT\u201d Youth Resource Center, pupils from Boris Danga Lyceum in Criuleni. On October 25, they attended a\u00a0Media Literacy Caf\u00e9 meet-up\u00a0organized by the Independent Journalism Center (IJC).<\/p>\r\n

\u201cThis activity is part of the Media Education Week organized on October 19-25. Media education is an essential component of the IJC\u2019s activity which contributes to educating society in the spirit of critical thinking,\u201d Victoria Tataru<\/strong>, the IJC Project Coordinator, mentioned at the beginning of the event.<\/p>\r\n

Diana Raileanu<\/strong>, an experienced journalist who has worked for the print media and the radio, informed the young people of many interesting aspects behind the scenes of journalism, providing useful information about the way a news item should be written, what questions it should answer, and the importance of checking the sources before spreading the news. As an author of analytical materials for Mediacritica, the first media education portal launched and supported by the IJC, the journalist discussed the importance of developing critical thinking in order to be able to tell true information from false, tendentious, or manipulative news.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cYou have to know that a misinformed person is easily manipulated. As a rule, manipulators have a certain goal; they spread half-truths, make us believe whatever they would like us to and act accordingly. There are different manipulative techniques and tools. Photographs can also be used for manipulation,\u201d the journalist explained, providing several examples from the press.<\/p>\r\n

The journalist wondered whether the young people knew who trolls are and what part they play online, challenging them to make a portrait of trolls to be able to tell them from the other Internet users. Several minutes later, a troll\u2019s profile was put together like a jigsaw puzzle: a troll is \u201can anonymous user on social media\u201d who \u201cconceals their identity,\u201d \u201chas a nickname which includes a fake name,\u201d \u201chas few photos in the profile,\u201d \u201cthe profile photo can be fake,\u201d \u201ca troll gets particularly active during election campaigns,\u201d \u201cintends to destabilize the situation,\u201d \u201cif a troll attempts to contact you it is reasonable to reject their friend request,\u201d \u201ca troll is rude and writes in an illiterate manner.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n

As to behavior online, Diana Raileanu also warned the participants that it could be regarded as the second CV for each of us; hence, it is very important that, while in the virtual space, we \u201cact fair, use a non-discriminatory language, and are respectful and careful what messages we share and what statements we make.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

During the discussion, the \u201cUniT\u201d Center volunteers were also invited to take part in several interactive activities for consolidating their knowledge of the role of media education and the importance of media culture development in the present-day society.<\/p>\r\n

Dan Mihai<\/strong>, 10th<\/sup>-grade pupil, Boris Danga Lyceum, Criuleni Town: \u201cI am online practically non-stop. Social media are my basic source of information. Today\u2019s discussion has made me realize that, in addition to the advantages the online environment offers us, it also has many dangers we can cope with if we are sufficiently informed.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

Valeria Popescu<\/strong>, the \u201cUniT\u201d Center volunteer: \u201cToday\u2019s meeting made me realize how important it is to verify information using several sources. Thus, we have discovered that some news could be manipulative and intended for making us think and act in a certain way. I\u2019ve understood that when I get information I have to filter it! I should avoid being manipulated!\u201d<\/p>\r\n

Andreea Motrical\u0103<\/strong>, pupil, Boris Danga Lyceum, Criuleni Town: \u201cI enjoy taking part in such meetings because they help me get a better idea of the way things work in the online environment. Previously, I attended journalism lessons within the Est-Curier Program. The conclusion is that, in order to think reasonably, we need to get information from many sources. We must also learn to filter the information we read in virtual space better.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

The\u00a0Media Literacy Caf\u00e9 meet-up<\/em>\u00a0is part of the project \u201cBuilding social cohesion in Moldova through promoting inclusion and diminishing discrimination\u201d by the Independent Journalism Center as part of the program \u201cJoint Initiative for Equal Opportunities \u2013 Phase II\u201d, implemented from the resources provided by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).<\/em><\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery thb_columns=”small-6 large-2″ lightbox=”mfp-gallery” images=”15831,15828,15825,15822,15819,15816″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]
