This week the Latest Sale team covers Multimedia & Digital: Think Before You Like as part of the business directory. National Geographic’s “Think Before You Like” campaign is an effort aimed at fostering good digital citizenship. The programme was launched this year 2021 in an aim to provide users with the right mindset and skills necessary to fight the spread of misinformation and promote objectivity.
Understanding the potential consequences of our online behaviour is essential to practising responsible digital citizenship. The campaign uses the distribution of science-related information as one example. Inaccurate portrayals of cultures or wildlife in social media posts can feed prejudices and false beliefs, which in turn affects how societies view and engage with various populations and ecological systems. The campaign highlights the significance of encouraging accurate and respectful portrayals of cultural heritage and the environment by fostering critical thinking and fact-checking.
