Abstract

In the last two decades, the growth of the internet has been spectacular in every field of contemporary society. The impact of digital media was without precedents. Consumers can be at the same time producers and can directly address a large number of potential users. The effects of this revolution are not only positive. The availability of large volumes of data on the internet and the possibility to spread information worldwide have also negative consequences. The internet can give to spin doctors and various types of manipulators the opportunity to disseminate around meaningless and trivial opinions as well as fake information. This paper focuses on how digital education within media literacy can prevent the negative consequences related to digital media. Digital education is a potent means for contrasting some emerging issues such as the increasing spread of online haters, trolls, and fake news.
