Marina Kaftan - About Critical Thinking as the Key to Media Literacy
Description
Why fakes are not a new phenomenon, how the first examples of manipulations arose in Ancient Egypt, and why critical thinking is the main weapon against information attacks.
Why is the development of critical thinking the basis for combating fakes, and neither complete trust in information nor its complete objection are effective approaches? How can you protect yourself from information attacks, improve your information literacy, and learn to distinguish truth from fiction? The host of the Mediums podcast, Natalia Sokolenko, talked about this with Marina Kaftan, a media trainer, author of media literacy programs for children and adults, and author of the book The History of Lies. How We Are Deceived. And also about how emotions help to reveal fakes, and advertising microloans can teach media literacy.
