Abstract
-
This paper provides research findings to support the case for media literacy as an aid to journalists
and journalism educators in a disruptive age through the fostering of resilient media engagement by
young citizens. It posits that encouraging media literacy in news consuming publics facilitates a more
critically engaged civic society. Focused on trust, it shares the outcomes of a project funded by the US
Embassy in London, which brought together leading researchers from the United States and UK with
a range of key stakeholders, including journalists. Their collective aim: to devise a practical strategy
for harnessing media literacy to develop young people’s understanding of and ability to withstand
‘fake news’.
