Ethics makes click. Shaping opinions in the digital world

The klicksafe handbook “Ethics Makes Sense: Shaping Opinions in the Digital World” provides insights into how young people consume information, offers guidance on analyzing and recognizing disinformation strategies, and highlights the impact of misinformation on democratic society. At its core is a media ethics roadmap—a compass of competencies: These include methodological competence (How do I find information?), substantive competence (What do I know about media and digital public spheres?), social competence (How do I conduct myself in discussions?), and ethical competence (How can I develop a stance?).
