European Youth Information Day: Shedding Light on Misinfographics and Recontextualized Media

This year ‘European Youth Information Day’ aims to equip young people with key tools & knowledge to become more media & information literate citizens. Let us raise awareness among young people on new concepts related to media use & literacy.

Misinfographic: an infographic with false or misleading information. In some cases, it may also be classified as a falsification when they borrow an existing organisation’s brand aesthetics and logo in order to make it seem as if the content was coming from the organisation.

Recontextualised media: any image, video, or audio clip that has been taken out of its original context and reframed for an entirely different purpose or narrative frame.
