With just a tap on one’s computer, tablet, or mobile phone, one can access millions of information anytime, anywhere. But how can people be sure that the information accessed is true? Accurate? Along with the plethora of genuine information is the proliferation of fake news/information/scams? How can we prevent becoming victims of fake news and scams that can have strong impact in our lives and in our community?
These are some of the questions that shall be addressed in the OPEN Talk episode “Media Literacy: Iwasan Maging Biktima ng Fake News”, which shall be aired on 16 June 2021, from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
