This is the second video in a series of three, produced for us by one of our Serbian Media Literacy Experts and Master Trainers, a prolific Hive Mind Community Content Creator, Dajana Marković.

If you still don't care whether the piece of information you come across is true or false – it’s about time to change your approach.

On a daily basis, the media are bombarding us with different fake, and sometimes extremely disturbing, content. We don't really deserve to be treated like this, right?

As you usually seem to care about such things as which kind of petrol you will pour into your car at a petrol station, you should also care about the content you consume daily in the media and the consequences of reading or listening to fake news. They may affect your way of thinking, and in consequence, influence your decisions and actions.

In this short video, you will find out what fake news actually is, how it can influence us and what we can do to make a stance and start getting defended from it.
Let's go! :-)
