Addressing Misinformation with Media Literacy through Cultural Institutions

错误信息会损害民主进程、社会凝聚力和公共卫生结果。媒体素养通过培养批判性分析能力使公民为错误信息做好准备。该项目与澳大利亚公共文化机构合作，提高成人媒体素养。通过一种基于行动的混合方法，该项目调查成年人对在线错误信息的经历，并评估他们识别和挑战错误信息的能力。研究结果将为有针对性的循证媒体扫盲培训和资源的设计和评估提供信息，这些培训和资源将在广播媒体、实体空间和在线上共享。通过这些举措，澳大利亚人将更好地与错误信息作斗争。

Misinformation can harm democratic processes, social cohesion and public health outcomes. Media literacy prepares citizens for misinformation by developing critical analysis abilities. This project partners with Australian public cultural institutions to increase adult media literacy. Through an action-based, mixed methods approach, the project investigates adults’ experiences with online misinformation and assesses their ability to identify and challenge it. Research findings will inform the design and evaluation of targeted evidence-based media literacy training and resources that will be shared across broadcast media, physical spaces and online. Through these initiatives Australians will be better equipped to combat misinformation.
