Educación mediática y combate a la desinformación: un estudio cualitativo entre los jóvenes egipcios
Resumen
La educación mediática es fundamental para desarrollar el pensamiento crítico y analítico, fortalecer la capacidad de evaluar e interpretar los contenidos mediáticos y promover la autorregulación necesaria para interactuar de manera responsable con los mensajes. Este estudio analiza su papel en la prevención de ideologías extremistas y la desinformación, con énfasis en su contribución al fomento de la alfabetización mediática entre estudiantes universitarios. A través de una metodología cualitativa, se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad a doce profesionales de los medios, educadores y expertos, además de grupos de discusión con estudiantes de tres universidades egipcias: Universidad del Cairo (pública), Universidad Misr International (privada) y Universidad Americana del Cairo (internacional). Los resultados muestran consenso sobre la necesidad de dotar a los jóvenes de competencias mediáticas. También revelan que los estudiantes priorizan los medios digitales sobre los tradicionales y poseen un conocimiento limitado de la educación mediática. Se concluye con recomendaciones para fortalecer la alfabetización mediática e integrarla en los sistemas educativos.
