Thursday, October 17, 2024, 15:05-15:55 | Kyoto Research Park Building 1, Room E
In recent years, the term ‘media literacy’ has been frequently used in the context of countering misinformation and propaganda spread primarily online by mal-intentioned actors (both domestic and foreign). However, the need to counter misinformation and propaganda spread through official channels by domestic and allied governments is rarely seen as an issue. This workshop aims to address this need, providing new perspectives on media literacy and tools to read mainstream media in a critical manner. The workshop will consist of a short introductory case study and group work among the participants. Participants will re-evaluate their critical reading skills for media content and the importance of independent media. The goals of this workshop are to:
-
- Enable participants to enhance and re-evaluate their critical reading skills
- Provide an opportunity for participants to re-evaluate the importance of independent media and independent voices
- Provide networking opportunities for participants
Pre-registration is required to participate in this workshop.
