Abstract
In the modern world, information has acquired dangerous dimensions. It is popular today and has a great impact on social media where people spread all kinds of information including fake news. Disseminating and dealing with them poses a significant challenge to media users and the media. Only a small part of the population has the ability to perceive the text critically. Consequently, they are easily caught in the trap of fake news spread by the media. An effective weapon in the fight against fake news is a citizen armed with media literacy. Media literacy is therefore of great importance as it is an essential skill for critical media analysis, evaluation, and media content creation. Without media literacy skills, a person cannot be a full-fledged citizen in the flow of information, as he or she can be a constant victim of misinformation. This circumstance creates serious threats in terms of social responsibility and protection of human rights.
