From likes to yikes! How to keep your shiz together when all around you are losing theirs

Media literacy panel discussion: How to keep your head straight in a world of online curveballs

Culture wars here. Online outrage blowing up there. Deep-fakery and sh!tf%ckery everywhere. The battle to navigate the media landscape is real. Good thing we’ve got a breakout for that at State of Social ’24.

From Clickbait to Critical Thinking: Media Literacy for a Digital Future

Understanding, let alone navigating, the minefields and rabbit holes, quagmires and shifting sands of today’s media landscape has never been harder. Our breakout panel discussion will help you confront the spectres of fake news, manufactured outrage and outright misinformation.

Hosted by State of Social fave Carmen Braidwood, our panel featuring legal eagle Taleesha Elder from Bennett, online outrage and community expert Larah Kennedy from Quiip and our very own social media maven Meg Coffey will pull back the curtain on the media landscape.

What is media literacy? Why is it more important than ever? How hard is it in the world of AI? And what are the legal implications? Join us as we plunge into the depths of uncertainty, probing the very essence of reality and why discerning truth from fiction has never been more crucial.

Prepare to challenge your assumptions, ignite your critical faculties, and emerge empowered. But remember, this is just one of the breakouts you can choose from on Day One of SOS24. Check out our program and start planning yours.
