A Newstruck<\/strong>, a van equipped as a mobile control room, which travels the roads to raise public awareness about information and how it is processed; a large-scale investigative game<\/strong> that can immerse more than 100 people in researching and verifying information; creation of articles, podcasts, photos, and videos with journalists<\/strong>: these are the tools developed by the Journalism School of Lille (ESJ Lille) to help citizens, young people, and adults, to decipher online content and develop responsible digital practices.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day, a multitude of content circulates on our screens: information, opinions, but also misappropriations and even manipulations that contribute to blurring the notion of verified, balanced information and pose a threat to social cohesion and democracy. Who publishes, and with what intention? How can we sort through it all and take a step back? Media literacy is a key tool for equipping ourselves, together. ESJ Lille is doing its part and has been developing regional media literacy programs for the public since 2018, in partnership with funding bodies: Europe (ERDF), State and local authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ESJ Lille<\/a> has been training professional journalists for a hundred years and is one of the 15 schools recognised nationally by the profession in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A non-profit association, ESJ Lille is committed to civic actions on the local, regional, and national levels and has long developed recognised expertise in media and information literacy (MIL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
