Abstract

This research is based on an empirical study that analyzes the users' media literacy skills in dealing with news and non-news content. It considers the ways in which highly educated internet users are motivated to be involved in fact-checking organizations as volunteers and in which ways they seek to develop their digital media literacy skills. In order to explore this question, this study takes activities of fact-checking organization Doğruluk Payi and its workshops as a case study. Through the analysis of the experiences of participants in such workshops, this chapter aims to reflect on notions of media literacy and digital literacy in an age of post-truth era in the informational sphere. © Peter Lang GmbH Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Berlin 2020.
