Vol. 29 No. 123 (2025): Democracy and Media Education
The contemporary media ecosystem presents challenges that unfold within media spaces, reflecting society in its organizational dynamics. Increasingly, citizens require media education (Gillmor, 2005). In this context, it is necessary to consider not only technical training but also ethical concerns and the recognition that much of the information disseminated is untrue. This situation has undermined democratic processes, which over the past centuries have evolved to promote peace and harmony among peoples. The problem is not limited to societies labeled as underdeveloped. Countries that identify themselves as developed, such as those belonging to the European Union and the United States, frequently present us with media “truths” that are often radically disconnected from reality. Within these contexts, we can observe the rise of anti-democratic movements promoted by far-right groups, as well as the growth of hate speech voiced by individuals who had never previously defended such positions.
