The amount of information created on numerous platforms, on a daily-basis is endless, and to such an extent that it can often lead to content overload for a user. In this vast world, the overwhelming nature of information can make it difficult to determine what is fake and what is real. And thus, in this hyper-information phase, unverifiable information often prevails and propagates.
To catch up in the race between speed and accuracy, Chambal Academy has come up with a Media Masterclass. This comprehensive guide is designed to empower individuals with the essential skills of media literacy and the insights needed to navigate the landscape of fake news.
Drawing from Khabar Lahariya’s experience in rural reporting and incorporating examples from mainstream media, the module draws insights from both rural and urban perspectives. By bridging these diverse and unique contexts, it aims to provide an inclusive and comprehensive learning experience to develop media literacy skills.
Thus, it lays emphasis on dissection, discussion and dialogue when coming across any piece of information.
