For ordinary folk, it’s often difficult to know what’s fact and what’s fiction in this post-truth world. So media literacy, the ability of people to critically use media, plays an essential role in helping them navigate the information minefields that are out there. #FreeSpeak host Gwen Lister sits down with Jan Lublinksi, head of policy and learning at the Deutsche Welle Akademie and their coordinator for Media and Information Literacy (MIL) in southern Africa, Lizette Feris - to talk about the state of media literacy in Namibia and other parts of the continent. Central to the discussion is Deutsche Welle Akademie’s just-released MIL Index, a report which covers media literacy habits in six African countries, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda and Namibia.
