Dr. Mateja Rek is organizing an important media literacy conference in Ljubjana, Slovenia.
The MELI RESIST project aims to strengthen individuals’ resilience against online fake news, disinformation, and misinformation that people often encounter when using digital media. The project seeks to encourage discussions about the importance of media literacy and education to protect democratic processes, public health, social cohesion, and trust in institutions, while empowering individuals to reasonably evaluate digital content and responsibly use credible online information. Renee Hobbs is delighted to participate as an invited speaker on January 16, 2025. Learn more about the project here.
In 2024, as part of the Media Literacy Infrastructure Program at FUDŠ, we conducted focus groups with young people to explore their trust in media, their understanding of media financing and ownership, their information verification practices, attitudes toward personal data protection, and habits related to following news programs and political content.
