Disinformation Debunked: Building Resilience through Media and Information Literacy examines the way media and information literacy (MIL) can address disinformation in conjunction with fact-checkers and developers, to benefit from the expertise of these fields in fighting disinformation.

It considers the MIL theories and methodologies at work in the digital era, especially from the perspective of digital visual literacy.
