Media literacy for companies

Workshops to navigate the news in a healthier way and reduce your screen time.

Do we have a problem with our smartphones?

  • Woman scrolling on mobile phone.

    How many times a day do you unlock your smartphone?

    20, 50, 100? There's a good chance you underestimate this number. This is not our fault, smartphones and apps have addictive features that keep us on and always coming back for more.

    Think about autoplay and infinite scroll, a couple of the more obvious addictive design choices.

    The good news is there are many steps you can take to curb the excesses.

  • Animation of screenshots and short clips from news outlets piling on top of one another. The impression is one of overwhelmed confusion.

    How do you keep up-to-date with the news?

    Our way of consuming the news is often superficial, made of clickbait headlines, breaking news and 20-second clips on social media that arouse emotion rather than inform.

    It is also overwhelmingly negative, the carousel of violence, catastrophes, crime and suffering leading to feelings of despair, anxiety and helplessness.

How #FilterTheNoise was born

When Covid-19 came around, affecting the very fabric of society, it was obvious how unequipped we were with dealing with the incessant flow of information on the web. We struggled to see what constituted a valid source, failed to distinguish between fact and opinion, misunderstood the nature of scientific knowledge.

Misinformation and conspiracies grew, inflated by the emotions of our human nature, bots and an ad-driven model of the web...

We don't try to compete with fun cat videos and sensationalist content, but wish to show that social media posts can also be both insightful and amusing.

    I was fed up of obsessively checking Instagram, wasting so much time scrolling. Jonathan gave me many tips to reduce my addiction and it's thankfully better now!
