Abstract

The situation with the spread of disinformation in the modern information environment and the complexity of the presentation and perception of refutations caused by the effects of "lasting influence", "reverse action" and the existence of polarized communities — "echo chambers" have been analysed. The dangers of deepfakes have been considered. A new type of content marketing with the self-explanatory name clickbait has been considered. It has seriously revolutionized the way content is distributed and attracted readers' attention. The proficiency of media literacy skills by children and adults in these conditions becomes a key factor in assessing online content and detecting misinformation. And as disinformation takes on new and viral forms, teaching children and teachers how to identify it and interact with it becomes especially relevant. It is concluded that it is necessary to create and introduce a media literacy course into the training program for all subject teachers.
