The Relationship

One of the most important things in handling the false information circulation (hoax) in the post-truth era is increasing digital literacy. The goal is to give more control to the audience in interpreting messages in digital media. This paper will address the urgency of digital literacy, how it affects, and how to improve its skills in an attempt to overcome tricks. This research uses literature research methods in elaborating various literature in the form of books, journals, magazines, and literature relevant to the theme of writing. In this study, adjustments will be made to change the ecology of the media to encourage the novelty of previous studies, especially media literacy. Developing the definition of media literacy coined by W. James Potter, the author tries to divide the definition of digital literacy into three similar categories (by substituting media objects into digital technology) ie umbrella definition, process definition, and destination definition. Differences in level of literacy will affect the differences of individual control in the process of interpretation of existing information, especially information circulating in social media. On the one hand, social media can be seen as a step closer to democracy on the internet, and closing the digital divide between developing and developed countries. Access to information and social support can increase. But on the other hand, some negative cases are found in the realm of freedom of expression as the use of intense social media in society. Based on data from Diskominfo Jabar 2012, 92.4% of hoax news distribution channels are found through social media. Therefore, the digital literacy relationship with the effort to overcome the deceit cases need to be more excavated, especially in the social media group with the most deceitful cases of microblog types (Twitter) and SNS (Facebook and Instagram). First, digital literacy as a necessity in the life of communication will be reviewed from the theoretical concepts to its importance. Secondly, this paper will discuss the relationship of digital literacy with the prevention of deceit in the post-truth era. Third, the digital literacy skill enhancement mechanism will be presented as a preventive measure. The relationship of digital literacy in the fight against false news lies in the role of the cognitive ability of the audience in the process of verifying information. In fact, to a higher level, digital literacy can help individuals provide alternative information about incorrectly confirmed information. When the control of social media content is difficult for media owners, governments, or other groups, digital literacy becomes the best solution. By promoting digital literacy, self-control over the use of social media can be done optimally. Increased digital literacy as a form of self-control into a solution to prevent the case of false information circulation (hoax) becomes more and more repetitive. Digital literacy can be an effective way to tackle false information (hoaxes) in the post-truth era, by introducing false news alerts, information verification procedures, and following up on the phenomenon of hoax information.

While metrics have long played an important, albeit fraught, role in the media and cultural industries, quantified indices of online visibility—likes, favorites, subscribers, and shares—have been indelibly cast as routes to professional success and status in the digital creative economy. Against this backdrop, this study sought to examine how creative laborers’ pursuit of social media visibility impacts their processes and products. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with 30 aspiring and professional content creators on a range of social media platforms—Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, and Twitter—we contend that their experiences are not only shaped by the promise of visibility, but also by its precarity. As such, we present a framework for assessing the volatile nature of visibility in platformized creative labor, which includes unpredictability across three levels: (1) markets, (2) industries, and (3) platform features and algorithms. After mapping out this ecological model of the nested precarities of visibility, we conclude by addressing both continuities with—and departures from—the earlier modes of instability that characterized cultural production, with a focus on the guiding logic of platform capitalism.

Media convergence and the incorporation of new narratives typical of the consumption habits of younger audiences in the social media environment have led to the proliferation of a wide variety of formats and types of content in the media ecosystem through which the editorial content offered to brands is being distributed. This qualitative research, using in-depth interviews with a qualified sample of branded content managers from the main Spanish media, allows us to determine the main characteristics of the native advertising demanded by advertisers. The results corroborate observations that content channelled through more sophisticated consumption experiences, using both multimedia and interactivity with a clear transmedia approach, tends to be better received by the audience and, therefore, in greater demand by brands. It also confirms that both video and social media formats have grown exponentially when it comes to providing an outlet for branded content. Based on the results obtained, a proposed classification of these products, including definitions, has been drawn up so they can be publicised to the professional world, offering the reflection and precision that their rapid development has not allowed until now.

It has been widely argued that social media users with low digital literacy – who lack fluency with basic technological concepts related to the internet – are more likely to fall for online misinformation, but surprisingly little research has examined this association empirically. In a large survey experiment involving true and false news posts about politics and COVID-19, we find that digital literacy is indeed an important predictor of the ability to tell truth from falsehood when judging headline accuracy. However, digital literacy is not a significant predictor of users’ intentions to share true versus false headlines. This observation reinforces the disconnect between accuracy judgments and sharing intentions, and suggests that interventions beyond merely improving digital literacy are likely needed to reduce the spread of misinformation online.

False News

Since the Coronavirus health emergency was declared, many are the fake news that have circulated around this topic, including rumours, conspiracy theories and myths. According to the World Economic Forum, fake news is one of the threats in today's societies, since this type of information circulates fast and is often inaccurate and misleading. Moreover, fake-news are far more shared than evidence-based news among social media users and thus, this can potentially lead to decisions that do not consider the individual’s best interest. Drawing from this evidence, the present study aims at comparing the type of Tweets and Sina Weibo posts regarding COVID-19 that contain either false or scientific veracious information. To that end 1923 messages from each social media were retrieved, classified and compared. Results show that there is more false news published and shared on Twitter than in Sina Weibo, at the same time science-based evidence is more shared on Twitter than in Weibo but less than false news. This stresses the need to find effective practices to limit the circulation of false information.

Despite the staggering uptick in social media employment over the last decade, this nascent category of cultural labor remains comparatively under-theorized. In this paper, we contend that social media work is configured by a visibility paradox: while workers are tasked with elevating the presence—or visibility—of their employers’ brands across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more, their identities—and much of their labor—remains hidden behind branded social media accounts. To illuminate how this ostensible paradox impacts laborers’ conditions and experiences of work, we present data from in-depth interviews with more than 40 social media professionals. Their accounts make clear that social media work is not just materially concealed, but rendered socially invisible through its lack of crediting, marginal status, and incessant demands for un/under-compensated emotional labor. This patterned devaluation of social media employment can, we show, be situated along two gender-coded axes that have long structured the value of labor in the media and cultural industries: 1). technical-communication and 2). creation-circulation. After detailing these in/visibility mechanisms, we conclude by addressing the implications of our findings for the politics and subjectivities of work in an increasingly digital media economy.

False News

In an online experiment, participants who paused to explain why a headline was true or false indicated that they were less likely to share false information compared to control participants. Their intention to share accurate news stories was unchanged. These results indicate that adding “friction” (i.e., pausing to think) before sharing can improve the quality of information shared on social media.
