MEDIG 2025
Media and Information Literacy in the Post-Factual Era



Language is what defines our humanity.

Journalism, in turn, empowers individuals to harness language, allowing 
us to engage as humans and connect beyond the most rudimentary dynamics 
of interpersonal groups.

This is particularly pertinent in democratic contexts, which rely on 
continuous social communication and the thoughtful facilitation of 
societal processes and interests.

In this regard, media and information literacy create a platform for 
democratic discourse while also addressing the rapidly evolving 
information landscape and the challenges that confront us as a global 
community.

The role of journalists is experiencing a profound transformation. 
Historically, the media and journalists maintained publishing 
sovereignty, guiding the public in shaping critical perspectives on the 
world around them. They were tasked with shaping public opinion, 
enabling audiences to develop views and attitudes based on information 
that accurately mirrored reality, thereby allowing recipients to make 
informed decisions.

However, this paradigm has shifted.

Journalism education must adapt to reflect these changes. It is 
increasingly essential to consider not only the factors that influence 
perception but also those related to content creation, both by 
journalists and the public.

These considerations are the driving force behind our invitation to 
experts in media and journalistic communication, linguistics, pedagogy, 
sociolinguistics, sociology, and other pertinent fields to participate 
in our international scientific conference:
