TrustInInfo.org is intended as a web primer targeting university students and instructors interested in analyzing and actively engaging the complex issue of information literacy, from the cultural standpoint of the information and library science professions.
Unless otherwise indicated, Trust In Info explores Insights and Questions derived from the book Paradoxes of Media and Information Literacy: The Crisis of Information by Jutta Haider and Olof Sundin.
“Fragmentation, Individualisation, and Emotionalisation are integral to how commercial algorithmic information systems operate, at least in the sense that the categorizations applied to cluster, target, and extract data from people is intentionally invisible to those subjected to it.
“Trust in public knowledge, on the other hand, requires collectively shared and societally accepted methods for producing, challenging, and vetting knowledge , which fragmentation obscures and undercuts.”
