Welcome to the fourth module of InfoReady, where we’re set to explore the ethical, social, and moral landscapes carved by misinformation, disinformation, mal-information, and fake news. In our digitally interconnected world, the power of information has never been more influential. Through InfoReady, we aim to arm you with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate this complex terrain with ethical integrity and social responsibility. This module delves into promoting responsible sharing and critical thinking, advocating for media and news transparency and accountability, encouraging meaningful dialogue and engagement within communities and the broader social environment, and understanding the importance of reporting questionable information instances. Each of these topics is designed to empower you, as digital citizens, to contribute positively to the digital information ecosystem and uphold the values of truth and accuracy. As we venture into these critical discussions, remember, your participation not only shapes your understanding but also contributes to fostering a more informed and conscientious digital community.
