Description
Katarina Moneta is born in 1998 and she grew up with internet in her pocket.
She built her own TikTok account in Norway with 100 000 users, before she changed career to be a journalist at the Norwegian National Broadcast NRK. She had a special responsibility explaining news for youth.
Sølve Kuraas Karlsen has been a teacher for 14 years before he started the Norwegian Media Literacy project Tenk at the independent Fact checker Faktisk.no. Now Tenk has six employees and Sølve is the head of the department.
Together Katarina and Sølve research how it is to navigate the information landscape to day with their experiences.
The lightning talk are connected to spesific topics they have experienced during their career.
At its best, social media is educational, inspiring and gives us the opportunity to engage in public discussions in ways that were not possible before, providing a strong sense of freedom of expression. The flow of information on social media can often be perceived as free and organic, and make us forget the privately owned tech-companies that control the algorithms. The algorithms determine what content we see, often reinforcing existing beliefs by feeding
us more of what we already agree with.
