| dc.description.abstract | This review article aims to provide insights to how effective critical media and information literacy can help in curbing the tide of fake news and misinformation in society. In this study, 55 research articles out of 2077 articles from the year 2010 to 2020 were incorporated from three databases � Sage Journals, Science Direct, Taylor and Francis, for quantitative and thematic analysis. A total of seven categories were developed and analysed in the quantitative analysis phase whereas the thematic analysis phase divided the studies into three major themes based on the ways to combat fake news and misinformation. The quantitative data and thematic analysis suggest the following measures to fight fake news and misinformation: (1) Critical media and information literacy as a tool to curb fake news, (2) Technological advancements to reduce fake news, and (3) Governmental regulations on fake news spread. Researchers propose media and information literacy as an effective tool to curb fake news and misinformation in the society. � 2022,Journal of Content, Community and Communication.All Rights Reserved. | en_US |
