What and why?
Media freedom and information literacy are essential for informed, empowered, and democratic societies. Media freedom provides access to diverse information, enabling informed decisions, fostering accountability, and promoting transparency. Information literacy equips individuals to discern credible sources from misinformation, empowering effective navigation of the information landscape. In an era of fake news and disinformation, information literacy is vital for recognizing and countering false information. These elements strengthen democracy, bridge societal divides, contribute to development, and safeguard human rights. In an interconnected world, media freedom and information literacy connect people globally, fostering engagement in international issues. These pillars are fundamental for building knowledgeable communities equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world.
