After we pause to honor the dead, wounded, & heroes, let's talk about media. Because except for those in the NYC, DC, and PA areas who were direct witnesses, most of us "experienced" 9/11 through our TV sets. That needs to be part of our reflection today. #MediaLiteracy #civics #NewsLiteracy🍎📚

In addition, many studies report findings that can be interpreted as rather beneficial for democratic societies. Finally, researchers underline the importance of #medialiteracy or #digitalcompetence, but only few propose educative measures or test interventions.

This year's #DGPS conference in Luxembourg marks a milestone in my academic career. I presented the first study that I conducted at the @ddc-sdu.bsky.social. With this, I am also exploring a new field of research, looking into #youth, #digitalmedia, #politicalmindset, as well as #medialiteracy.

In this satire, we show how controversial these rules can be. A video about the UN or humanitarian work can still be labelled “harmful.” 🤔 Wait for Part 2 to see why - or watch the full video on YouTube (youtu.be/ffaUf2lP_q4). #TikTok #Satire #MediaLiteracy #NoToApathy

Why do we instantly reject news that challenges our worldview? It's not just stubbornness—it's cognitive dissonance, the mental discomfort we feel when facing conflicting ideas. #Psychology #MediaLiteracy

Confirmation bias makes us hunt down validating info while dismissing contradictory evidence. Social media algorithms supercharge this by locking us into airtight echo chambers that starve us of dissenting views. (2/5) #MediaLiteracy #ConfirmationBias

All of these headlines are factually correct, but what message does each send? #OntEd #MediaLiteracy
