DVE NAJVALIDNIJE PLATFORME ZA OTKRIVANJE FAKE NEWSA U SRBIJI


Sve o manipulacijama na jednom mestu:
1.Istinomer portal koji se bavi raskrinkavanjem lažnih vijesti (https://www.istinomer.rs/)
2.Fake news tragač osnovan je od strane novosadske novinarske škole koji se bavi aktivnom borbom protiv dezinformacija u medijima i u sadržajima koji se tiču Srbije. (https://fakenews.rs/).
Na platformi Fake news tragač građani se takođe mogu obratiti sa pitanjima vezanima o nekim vestima za koje posumnjaju da su lažne.
Istinomer portal bavi se proverom činjenica kroz ocenjivanje izjava javnih zvaničnika i političara, kao i kroz analize važnih društvenih i ekonomskih pitanja. Izjave se ocenjuju po kriterijumima istinitosti, doslednosti i ispunjenja obećanja. Istinomer je od jula 2020. godine zvaničan partner kompaniji Meta za Srbiju u suzbijanju dezinformacija na društvenim mrežama Facebook i Instagram.

ŠTO BI SE MOGLO POBOLJŠATI

Uvođenje obavezne nastave o medijskoj pismenosti u školski kurikulum bi predstavljao jedan od krucijalnih koraka da đaci kritičnije razmišljaju o informacijama koje dobijaju od strane medija. Pritom, veliki bi se akcenat mogao staviti na prilagođavanje sadržaja gradiva različitim uzrastima đaka. Osim toga, vrlo je važno uključiti i društvene mreže kao jedan od izvora medija koje đaci najčešće koriste. Često određene generacije nemaju svest o tome da li se odgovorno ponašaju na društvenim mrežama, a to je upravo zbog nedostatka znanja i edukacije o korišćenju društvenih mreža. Upravo kroz ovakvu vrstu edukacije đaci bi imali prilike da nauče kako da prepoznaju i izbegnu online pretnje, kako da zaštite svoje podatke i kako da grade pozitivno prisustvo na društvenim mrežama.

Kroz tu edukaciju bi se posebna pažnja trebala posvetiti prepoznavanju lažnih vesti, kako bi identificirali nepouzdane izvore, prepoznali senzacionalizam i proučili kontekst u kojem su informacije objavljene.
Na linku https://n1info.rs/vesti/dezinformacije-o-masakru-u-skoli-vladislav-ribnikar/ može se pronaći samo još jedna u nizu lažnih vesti u Srbiji, a riječ je o masakru u”O. Š. Vladislav Ribnikar” u Beogradu.
Radi se o nastavnici istorije koja je ranjena u pucnjavi u O. Š. Vladislav Ribnikar u kojoj je ubijeno osmoro dece i skolski čuvar i jos sedam osoba povređeno 3. Maja 2023 godina. Masakr je počinio trinaestogodišnji dečak koji je pohađao tu školu. U pojedinim domaćim medijima su izvestili da je ranjena nastavnica preminula. Tu vest su preneli sledeći mediji: Nova, Novi glas, Srbin info, Direktno, Serbijan tajms, Prijedor 24h, Bosna info, Hayat, Press media i Srpska info. Takođe, ova vest je preneta i u dnevniku TV Pink nakon čega je usledio demanti ( Srbija danas, Alo, Lajk, Danasnje i Republika).
Nastavnica se oporavlja i prebačena je u manje intenzivnu negu.

TWO MOST VALID PLATFORMS FOR DETECTING FAKE NEWS IN SERBIA

Everything about manipulations in one place:

Istinomer portal, which deals with debunking fake news (https://www.istinomer.rs/)

Fake News Tracker, founded by the Novi Sad School of Journalism, actively combating disinformation in media and content related to Serbia (https://fakenews.rs/).

On the Fake News Tracker platform, citizens can also inquire about news they suspect to be false. The Istinomer portal fact-checks statements by public officials and politicians, as well as analyzes important social and economic issues. Statements are evaluated based on criteria such as truthfulness, consistency, and fulfillment of promises. Since July 2020, Istinomer has been an official partner of Meta for Serbia in combating disinformation on the Facebook and Instagram social media platforms.

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED

Introducing mandatory media literacy education into the school curriculum would be a crucial step for students to think more critically about the information they receive from the media. Emphasis could be placed on adapting content to the different age groups of students. Additionally, it is essential to include social media as one of the media sources most commonly used by students. Often, certain generations are not aware of whether they behave responsibly on social media, precisely due to a lack of knowledge and education on using social media. Through this type of education, students would have the opportunity to learn how to recognize and avoid online threats, protect their data, and build a positive presence on social media.

In this education, special attention should be paid to recognizing fake news to identify unreliable sources, recognize sensationalism, and study the context in which the information is published.

On the link https://n1info.rs/vesti/dezinformacije-o-masakru-u-skoli-vladislav-ribnikar/, another false news in Serbia can be found, regarding the massacre at “O.Š. Vladislav Ribnikar” in Belgrade.

It involves a history teacher who was injured in a shooting at O.Š. Vladislav Ribnikar, where eight children and a school guard were killed, and seven other people were injured on May 3, 2023. The massacre was committed by a thirteen-year-old boy who attended that school. Some domestic media reported that the injured teacher had died. The following media outlets transmitted this news: Nova, Novi glas, Srbin info, Direktno, Serbian Times, Prijedor 24h, Bosnia Info, Hayat, Press Media, and Serbian Info. This news was also reported in the TV Pink news, followed by a denial (Serbia Today, Alo, Lajk, Danasnje, and Republika). The teacher is recovering and has been transferred to less intensive care.
