Welcome to Media Masterclass: A Guide to Media Literacy and Fake News, an online course curated by Chambal Academy, and supported by Google News Initiative.
The course is designed keeping in mind the ever changing media landscape of the country, and urges the user to use the media literacy lens, when differentiating between what is fake and what is fact?
Stemming from Khabar Lahariya’s experience in rural reporting, the course draws insights from both rural and urban perspectives as well as aims to provide an enabling environment to develop media literacy skills. It also highlights the role that disseminators of information- such as media companies, digital communication services, social media etc play in influencing information. Thus, it lays emphasis on dissecting, discussing and dialogue when coming across any piece of information.
