ABSTRACT
Media literacy and understanding the digital
information around us are an area of
communication that affects all of us.
How people are represented in the media, social media and our civic
participation affect our representations and understanding of the truth. The author would argue through research and practical examples that civic
engagement and associations with a peer group can counteract some of the issues
facing digital media today. In an age of the so-called “fake news,” there are tools we can provide for our teams, our employees, and our collaborators to make sure we are all on the same page and dealing
with the same set of verifiable facts.
KEYWORDS
