Media democracy is a concept that emphasizes the role of media in promoting democratic values by disseminating information freely and widely. It stands against private ownership and stringent regulations of media systems, viewing these as detrimental to democracy. The concept stresses the importance of diverse voices and opinions in the media to avoid bias, advocating for accountability and the creation of democratic alternatives. Media democracy recognizes the internet^[5]’s role, especially redes sociais^[3], in facilitating political discourse^[4] and participation. However, it also acknowledges the challenges posed by data surveillance, disinformation^[1], and the dominance of major corporations. It underscores the need for literacia mediática^[2], critical news consumption, and media reform for transparency and diversity in ownership.

Definições de termos

1. ↑ disinformation. Disinformation is a complex concept with roots tracing back to the Proto-Indo-European language family. It refers to the intentional spreading of false or misleading information, often for political or social influence. This phenomenon became widespread in the 1980s and has been a subject of extensive research to understand its origins, methods, and impacts. Disinformation is often used in deception campaigns on social media and is distinct from misinformation and malinformation. It's common in political arenas, where it can confuse citizens and discourage their engagement. Disinformation has global implications, being used by governments, NGOs, and businesses worldwide. It can undermine election security and create societal divisions. Various countermeasures have been initiated by organizations like NATO and the EU to address this issue. The study of disinformation also extends to ethical considerations and its role in warfare. Despite these efforts, disinformation remains a challenging issue due to its widespread prevalence and the difficulty in assessing its true impact.

2. ↑ literacia mediática. A literacia mediática é a capacidade de aceder, analisar, avaliar e criar meios de comunicação social em todas as suas formas. Implica a compreensão do papel dos media na sociedade, bem como das competências essenciais de investigação e de auto-expressão necessárias aos cidadãos de uma democracia. A educação para a literacia mediática, ministrada por organizações como a UNESCO, o Programa de Cooperação UNITWIN, a UNAOC e o GAPMIL, visa dotar os indivíduos de ferramentas e competências para analisar criticamente diferentes tipos de meios de comunicação e mensagens. Tem um impacto profundo nos indivíduos, sensibilizando-os para a manipulação, a propaganda e a parcialidade dos meios de comunicação social, ao mesmo tempo que capacita os cidadãos para contribuírem para o discurso público e tomarem decisões informadas. Este domínio está em constante evolução, incorporando elementos das redes sociais, dos grandes volumes de dados e da inteligência artificial. Atualmente, é um movimento global com diferentes graus de integração nos sistemas educativos de diferentes regiões.
