Modern news consumption is characterized by "liveness" and "visibility." For many, especially younger generations, news is no longer a separate activity but is integrated into social media feeds and pop culture. This shift has led to a disintegration of the traditional distinction between "serious" politics and "frivolous" pop culture, creating a more holistic but often more chaotic information environment.
One of the standout features of NewsCon was its interactive workshops and sessions. Attendees had the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities, such as a fake news detection game and a media literacy escape room. These engaging exercises not only provided a fun experience but also drove home the importance of critical thinking in everyday life.
