[ecrea] Cultura y Educación: Digital Literacy, Fake News and Education

*CALL FOR ARTICLES: /Cultura y Educación/**: _Digital Literacy, Fake 
News and Education_*

The 2017 COST report on Digital Literacy and Education addressed, across 
Europe, a set of fundamental questions:

/A revolution is going on at the very moment you read these words and 
you are repeatedly participating in it every time you log in. As with 
every revolution, the digital one started from a passion, a vision, an 
urgency to spread, and the promise of qualitative changes to come. One 
such change was the recent declaration of the United Nations (2016) on 
considering internet access a basic human right. How spread is this 
right across Europe? Is it the case that the digital is fundamentally 
changing literacy? What is the landscape of digital literacy and 
education interactions across European countries? What challenges does 
digital literacy pose to education in Europe?/ (Brites, 2017 
<https://www.is1401eln.eu/en/gca/index.php?id=149)>).

Since the report was published, the issue of fake news has been high on 
the agenda for media and digital literacy academics, teachers and 
researchers and the need for education to offer a preventative antidote 
to the dangers of fake news has been in the public discourse.

Therefore, the editors of this special issue, having been involved in 
the COST network, its research reports and training events, wish to 
collect and publish empirical work from the field of digital literacy as 
the next step in this investigation into digital literacy education and 
also to frame this research in the context of resilience to fake news. 
Whilst the COST reports focus on Europe, this special issue will publish 
research from a broader international scope.

The deadline for submission is *30 May 2018*.

Full call and author guidelines.
