09:00 – 10:00Social Media, Fake News and Digital Capitalism: Why We Need a Critical Approach
David Buckingham (Loughborough University, UK)

In this presentation, David Buckingham (Loughborough University, UK) will consider how media educators should be responding to the rise of social media, and to related controversies about fake news, cyberbullying and online radicalization. Moving beyond narrow ideas about ‘digital skills’ and internet safety, he will argue that we need a more comprehensive and coherent educational approach to rise of ‘digital capitalism’ – one that builds on the existing concepts and pedagogy of media education, but extends them in order to meet new challenges. </img8|right>

The role and articulation of media education regarding regulation, co-regulation and self-regulation stays a challenging topic for media education sector. Different professional lobbies, very active on some specific aspects of media literacy education, are not always in-line with the educational approach developed by our sector and in some cases counterproductive.
