Open your eyes

Fake news for dummies

Il progetto Open Your Eyes sta raccogliendo buone pratiche, strumenti e risorse sull'alfabetizzazione digitale e dei media in relazione alle fake news in Europa. Questa indagine è stata progettata per supportare la community nella ricerca delle migliori risorse formative sul tema, in modo da raggrupparle e condividerle sul sito web del progetto.

Compilando questo modulo, contribuirai a creare un database unico sul tema delle fake news e della media literacy.

Le informazioni fornite rispondendo a questo questionario saranno utilizzate solo dal consorzio del progetto "Open your eyes - Fake news for dummies", finanziato dal programma Erasmus +.

Le informazioni fornite non verranno utilizzate in altro modo senza il tuo esplicito consenso.

Terminology

Is the term ‘fake news’ adequate or misleading?

Definition by the European Commission Code of Practice on Disinformation:

“As provided under the Commission's Communication, for the purpose of this Code, the Commission as well as the High Level Expert Group in its report define "Disinformation" as "verifiably false or misleading information" which, cumulatively,
(a) "Is created, presented and disseminated for economic gain or to intentionally deceive the public"; and
(b) "May cause public harm", intended as "threats to democratic political and policymaking processes as well as public goods such as the protection of EU citizens' health, the environment or security".
The notion of "Disinformation" does not include misleading advertising, reporting errors, satire and parody, or clearly identified partisan news and commentary, and is without prejudice to binding legal obligations, self-regulatory advertising codes, and standards regarding misleading advertising.”

Do you think there is a difference between misinformation and disinformation and if yes, then can you distinguish them in practice?
