As ONE OF ITS FIRST JOINT ACTIONS, Children's News Europe VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO ENCOURAGE MEDIA LITERACY THAT INCLUDES LESSONS ON THE ROLE OF JOURNALISM IN THE SURVIVAL OF DEMOCRACY:
A good media literacy initiative takes into account the necessary role of journalism in European democracy.
-
Journalism differs from other content due to its codification as important for the success of a democratic form of government.
-
This form of information puts an emphasis on ethical practice and verification to inform the public.
-
Understanding the elements of the ethical journalism that produces quality content also contributes to the ability to decipher the nature of other content.
-
It is important to explore the judicial, political and physical attacks some journalists face just to do their jobs.
Approved 21 March 2024.
