Navigating the Digital World in a Time of Misinformation
May 21, 2024 | 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm BST
London, UK
LSE Faith Centre is hosting a panel event on Media Literacy and its importance in strengthening democracy and community cohesion.
Digital content can be used as a force for good, but it is essential that we all learn how to consume digital content more critically and build awareness of mis, dis and mal information. In recent months we have, once again, seen the divisive impact of media content on racial and religious cohesion, and as we approach a UK general election we need to ensure all are equipped to navigate the digital world responsibly.
The panel will comprise a mix of LSE academics, other sector experts and educationalists working in this space. They will discuss the impact of digital content on social cohesion and democracy, the steps we can all take to ensure we are responsible consumers and how schools and universities can play their part in preparing the next generations to utilise digital content as a force for good.
This is an in-person event at Parish Hall at the London School of Economics.
Address: PAR.1.02, LSE Parish Hall, London WC2A 2AE
