“…Na busca por alternativas que minimizem os efeitos negativos da desordem informativa, há alguns caminhos complementares. As soluções passam por ajustes nos algoritmos das plataformas digitais (van Dijk, 2017); punição dos produtores de conteúdos falsos e limitação da publicidade destes conteúdos (Manganello, Bleakley & Schumacher, 2020); o silêncio estratégico em alguns casos, evitando o 'tiro pela culatra' (Fachin et al, 2020;Uwalaka et al, 2021); a identificação das fontes de desinformação (Messaoud, 2021); a regulação dos meios digitais de comunicação (Messaoud, 2021;Neuwirth, 2022;Polyák & Nagy, 2021;Wardle & Derakhshan, 2017) e programas de literacia (Andreatta, 2021;Musi, O'halloran, Aloumpi, Carmi & Yates, 2022;Oji, 2022;Paris, Carmien & Marshall, 2022;Puig, Blanco-Anaya & Pérez-Maceira, 2021;Trninić, 2021;Veletsianos, Houlden, Reid, Hodson & Thompson, 2022).…”

Em tempos de pandemia, a desordem informativa pode provocar danos irreparáveis, colocando em risco a vida de pessoas e a estabilidade de nações. Este trabalho objetiva alcançar o estado da arte sobre os estudos acadêmicos que tratam de desordem informativa no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19. Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática expondo o corpus científico referente ao tema entre os anos de 2020 e 2022. Foram analisados 59 artigos acadêmicos nas línguas inglesa e portuguesa com acesso aberto nas bases de dados Scopus, Web of Science e Communication & Mass Media. Os resultados demonstram que, no período analisado, os estudos acadêmicos se concentraram em seis eixos principais: 1) motivação para consumir e compartilhar os conteúdos, 2) literacia mediática, 3) regulação das plataformas digitais, 4) fact-checking e os efeitos das correções na receção, 5) teoria da inoculação e 6) revisões de literatura. De forma geral, o corpus acadêmico sobre desordem informativa no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19 se mostrou bastante consistente.

“…In this study, the term misinformation is used as a catchall to describe false and misleading information spread with and without the intention to deceive (Jack, 2017), because this study focuses on outcomes rather than intentions. To date, there is research in library and information science around hyperlocal community information sessions as a site to increase local engagement with public health issues and combat health misinformation (Paris, Carmien, et al, 2022), but it far from normalized in the field. This study builds on Paris' previous work as a step towards normalizing these interventions in the field.…”

This paper details the findings from a study investigating the efficacy of community‐based and ‐organized information sessions for dispelling public health misinformation around COVID‐19. The authors used community‐engaged participatory action research methods to co‐organize town halls with community members, groups, and officials to disseminate COVID information for two New Jersey towns and townships with differing demographic compositions in late 2020 through 2021. These sessions aimed to share reliable, trustworthy public health and safety information around the COVID‐19 pandemic. This small‐scale, qualitative study suggests that this type of hyper‐localized information session where residents can interact with local leaders and talk openly about local problems around public health can be a point of connection for people with their community, that helps them access and address localized public health problems in myriad ways. In so doing, this study suggests ways to re‐imagine public health information and communication practices to promote informational justice.

How games can support misinformation education: A sociocultural perspective

This study uses a sociocultural perspective, which views literacy as embedded in people's daily practices and shaped by social contexts, to explore how a misinformation escape room can support learning about misinformation. While the sociocultural perspective has a rich theoretical foundation, it has rarely been used to examine, much less evaluate, information and media literacy interventions. In this paper, we posit that the topic of misinformation makes a strong case for using the sociocultural model and explore a misinformation escape room through this lens. We present findings of a nationwide study of an online misinformation escape room with post‐game debrief discussion conducted at 10 public libraries that hosted 53 game sessions involving 211 players. The mixed methods study finds the game and accompanying debrief supported players in reflecting upon social media platform infrastructures, the psychological and emotional dimensions of misinformation, and how their personal behaviors intersect with online misinformation. We discuss how the sociocultural perspective can enrich our understanding of the role played by certain attributes of the game—narrative, debrief, and collaboration—thereby providing insights for the design of media and information literacy interventions.
