Digital Media Literacy: Empathizing with the Internet
Monday, 4 April, 2022
The Internet is an amplifier. It flattens space and time to amplify information, connections, and access around the world. On the other side of the coin, it can amplify perspectives that are generally considered unhelpful in today's society, including disinformation and hate speech. As the Director of Research for MediaSmarts, Kara Brisson-Boivin stresses that our online environments shape our online experiences which in turn affects our capacity to develop empathy and act ethically. In our final episode, Mohit chats with Kara about how to mitigate hate speech, identify disinformation and strengthen digital media literacy in Canada. Hosted on Acast.
