Media Literacy Toolkit

It's difficult to find what's true in a sea full of misinformation and misrepresentation.

Many sources that people consider to be ‘news sources’ are actually dominated by analysis and opinion pieces. What’s common among these is that they have a shared disdain for multiculturalism, and view “political correctness” as censorship and an assault on free speech. Their main approach is that they will say what everyone else is too afraid to tell you. Overall, their content promotes nationalism and anti-globalism.

In the absence of adequate regulation, online misinformation and disinformation driven by far-right groups has steadily increased in recent years. We have seen many countries in Europe and further afield succumb to populism, racism, and an increasingly narrow and inward-looking vision of statehood, sovereignty, and national belonging. Countering hateful narratives and misinformation is especially vital in times of political uncertainty. The key to this is instilling agency in you, the reader, through using this page as a toolkit for identifying real-world biases.
