News reading in the disinformation era at the University of Gdańsk

13.04.2018

Theoreticians and practitioners of information – scientists, experts, journalists and students – participated in the debate on reading news in the disinformation era. The meeting was organized by the Polityka Insight analytical center, Facebook and the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Gdańsk.

The participants of the debate – mostly students of journalism – got acquainted with the short guide to the information intended to mislead the recipient and learned how to try to limit the damage caused by fake news.

The debate took place as part of a nationwide project – meetings of experts, representatives of “Polityka Insight”, Facebook, journalists and academics with journalism students at universities in Poland. The aim of the meetings and workshops is to familiarize students – future opinion leaders – with the problem of disinformation, false information and the ability to critically analyze the sources.
