Living with Misinformation: A Media Literacy Approach
Autor Tanya Notley, Michael Dezuanni, Sora Park, T. J. Thomson, Aimee Houriganen Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 sep 2026
Drawing on a three-year research study that examined the everyday media experiences and abilities of more than 4,400 adults, this book presents an in-depth look at how individuals experience and interpret misinformation across a range of topics. It argues that we need to learn to “live with” misinformation and outlines the skills, knowledge and critical thinking required for people to make informed decisions about their media use. This book uniquely integrates contemporary challenges such as generative AI and long-standing concerns about information integrity, presenting both the problem and actionable educational responses.
Living with Misinformation: A Media Literacy Approach is essential reading for scholars and students in media, education, and communication studies as well as educators, librarians, journalists, parents and community workers seeking to foster media literacy in varied populations. Its global relevance is reinforced by comparative insights from international studies, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to address the many challenges associated with misinformation.

Recenzii
Clearly and engagingly written, Living with Misinformation brings together a substantial, multi-faceted body of research that shows how media education can help to deal with the information crises. It addresses the scale and the inherent difficulty of the issues in a balanced and careful way, taking us beyond wishful thinking and superficial ‘checklist’ approaches. At a time when it might be tempting merely to despair, this book presents practical educational strategies that build constructively on existing approaches, and offers powerful grounds for hope.
David Buckingham, Honorary Professor, UCL Institute of Education, London
Living with Misinformation provides a thought-provoking, insightful and expansive view of media literacy—not just as a response to misinformation, but as a movement to recenter our core values in a pursuit to thrive in this digital moment. Those interested in navigating our culture of misinformation through a holistic model for media literacy pedagogy and practice will find this book thought-provoking, insightful and highly relevant.
Professor Paul Mihailidis, Emerson College, Boston
Misinformation is now endemic, and no amount of legislation or technosolutionism alone will make it go away. This timely and important book argues persuasively that our best hope of protecting people from its harms is to build up their media literacies — and it outlines a comprehensive, practical framework for doing so. Essential reading for anyone affected by misinformation, or in other words, all of us.

Information pollution poses complex threats to individuals, communities, and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Drawing on world-class research, Living with Misinformation makes an intervention by analysing how it is understood and experienced, and offering an evidence-based response that puts comprehensive and ongoing media literacy education at its centre.
Professor Lisa Waller, School of Media and Communication, RMIT University
Living with Misinformation offers a realistic perspective on one of the world's most pressing challenges. It equips readers with the media literacy, critical thinking, and strategies needed to navigate an increasingly complex information landscape. Deeply relevant, this book is an important resource for anyone seeking to make more informed decisions in a world where misinformation is an unavoidable part of daily life.
Dr. Belinha De Abreu, President, International Council for Media Literacy
There is no inoculation against digital manipulation, but this book provides clarity and more importantly, hope. Timely and evidence-based, it responds to the defining challenge of contemporary Australia, misinformation. Illustrating that with lifelong effort, we can remain curious, critical, and confident in a world of pink-slime journalism and democratic backsliding.
Lisa Bateman, President, Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA)
