La Alfabetizaci N Medi Tica E Informacional En Las Facultades De Comunicaci N En Espa A

El contexto político y cultural en el que nuestras sociedades están inmersas ha puesto de manifiesto que la desinformación se difunde en los entornos digitales a velocidades inusitadas e incontrolables. Los bulos, las mentiras y las informaciones sesgadas circulan por nuestra sociedad con independencia de la gravedad de las situaciones que nos toque vivir.Conscientes del papel que las personas dedicadas profesionalmente a la Comunicación --y en particular las facultades-- pueden desempeñar para revertir esta tendencia, la Asociación Española de Universidades con Titulaciones de Información y Comunicación (ATIC) aborda en este volumen el estudio de esta realidad en cuanto forma-dores de los futuros profesionales de la Comunicación.La alfabetización mediática e informacional en las Facultades de Comunicación en España se articula en torno a tres ejes temáticos bien delimitados:--la alfabetización mediática en la docencia de nuestras facultades.--la alfabetización mediática en el trabajo investigador.--la dimensión de la transferencia de conocimiento sobre este tema.Con este volumen, desde ATIC, animamos y promovemos la creación de redes de trabajo que incluyan a los y las profesionales de la comunicación, a los colegios y asociaciones de periodistas y publicitarios, y a la sociedad civil, sabedores de que sólo una ciudadanía educada para distinguir la verdad de la mentira en los mensajes que circulan por los medios y las redes sociales digitales, será una ciudadanía crítica con la realidad y el poder.

Este libro recoge los testimonios de los profesionales de la comunicación sobre un asunto de máxima actualidad y da algunas respuestas a preguntas tales sobre: ¿Cómo enfocar las múltiples alfabetizaciones necesarias para reforzar la formación de una ciudadanía más educada? ¿En qué competencias deberíamos formar a los ciudadanos? ¿Cuáles son los principales contenidos que los profesionales de la comunicación deberían conocer? ¿Cómo renovar unas metodologías docentes obsoletas que no se corresponden con las exigencias del actual universo transmedia?

Based on a major research project funded by the European Commission, Populism, Media and Education studies how discriminatory stereotypes are built online with a particular focus on right-wing populism. Globalization and migration have led to a new era of populism and racism in Western countries, rekindling traditional forms of discrimination through innovative means. New media platforms are being seen by populist organizations as a method to promote hate speech and unprecedented forms of proselytism. Race, gender, disability and sexual orientation are all being used to discriminate and young people are the preferred target for populist organizations and movements. This book examines how media education can help to deconstruct such hate speech and promote young people’s full participation in media-saturated societies. Drawing on rich examples from Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Italy, Slovenia, and the UK - countries characterized by different political and cultural contexts – Populism, Media and Education addresses key questions about the meaning of new populism, the nature of e-engagement, and the role of education and citizenship in the digital century. With its international and interdisciplinary approach, this book is essential reading for academics and students in the areas of education, media studies, sociology, cultural studies, political sciences, discrimination and gender studies.

An exploration of the jucture between media education and educational technology, for communication educators, education administrators

Western societies are under siege, as fake news, post-truth and alternative facts are undermining the very core of democracy. This dystopian narrative is currently circulated by intellectuals, journalists and policy makers worldwide. In this book, Johan Farkas and Jannick Schou deliver a comprehensive study of post-truth discourses. They critically map the normative ideas contained in these and present a forceful call for deepening democracy. The dominant narrative of our time is that democracy is in a state of emergency caused by social media, changes to journalism and misinformed masses. This crisis needs to be resolved by reinstating truth at the heart of democracy, even if this means curtailing civic participation and popular sovereignty. Engaging with critical political philosophy, Farkas and Schou argue that these solutions neglect the fact that democracy has never been about truth alone: it is equally about the voice of the democratic people. Post-Truth, Fake News and Democracy delivers a sobering diagnosis of our times. It maps contemporary discourses on truth and democracy, foregrounds their normative foundations and connects these to historical changes within liberal democracies. The book will be of interest to students and scholars studying the current state and future of democracy, as well as to a politically informed readership.
