[…] selon le sociologue, l'internaute devrait comprendre les technologies, le fonctionnement invisible des médias sociaux, les règles algorithmiques des moteurs de recherche et le système éducatif devrait développer les savoirs et compétences requis pour l'analyse critique de l'actualité, ce qu'il appelle l'«alphabétisation à l'actualité».

La alfabetización en noticias, para la UNESCO, es la "capacidad específica para comprender el lenguaje y las convenciones de la noticia como género y para reconocer cómo estas características pueden ser explotadas con mala intención".
