Navigating Digital Environments for Reliable Information with Dr. Jack Hang-tat Leong, Digital Scholarship Librarian, YorkU Libraries

In today’s digital world, the ability to critically evaluate online content is essential for informed citizenship and academic integrity. This session explores key concepts such as misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation, and examines how media manipulation—through images, videos, and audio—shapes public perception. Participants will learn strategies for evaluating sources, fostering responsible media consumption, and applying frameworks like SIFT and PARCA to verify information.
