Sobre este audiolivro
Just a few decades into the digital age, we are learning the hard way that divisive information can contribute to widespread social and political polarization. How can we heal those divisions and cultivate healthier, more peaceful communities? There is good reason to raise alarm bells about political polarization in the US. When grievances over inequality or election integrity erupt, a country can be at greater risk for political violence. Rapidly spreading misinformation and disinformation can exacerbate societal discontent and divisions.Media literacy is a new and essential element of peacebuilding in the digital age. This book helps us understand how the media ecosystem has changed since the digital transition. It also provides practical guidance to help all citizens sort through the massive quantities of information we encounter daily, mitigate the diffusion of disinformation, and lean into constructive civic engagement that bridges our divides and builds community.In the digital age, peacebuilding starts with learning to use the media responsibly. Ultimately, it's up to each of us to slow down and be savvier in our interactions with information and each other. Overcoming Information Chaos-- written by a team of leading media scholars and practitioners, legal experts, psychologists, democracy specialists, and peacebuilders-- provides expert guidance about how to defend ourselves against false information. The book also presents practical resources that can be applied in our busy routines, helping us to live as responsible citizens-- people who mitigate the divisive consequences of information disorder and cultivate unity in diversity.
