Abstract

Historically, media have always been a lens through which society witnesses and deciphers the countless events that make up the world. Today, disinformation is one of the scourges of society, and the elderly are regarded as being an age group most susceptible to its effects.             However, it is almost commonplace to consider that, despite the persistence of a historical distance, the older generations are not exempt from the incessant dynamics that the imposition of technological development represents in our society. Gone are the days of "laggards" (Rogers, 1995), a term used to characterize the technological gap that occurred among the elderly. As digital media perform numerous ritualistic and instrumental functions in this age group, they are currently “digital immigrants” (Prensky, 2001).             In this case, the ability to produce, create, and broadcast content stands out as a characteristic of a society that is increasingly participatory. By underlining the importance that video, television, and television information has traditionally for seniors, the Senior TV project is being developed at the College of Education of Leiria of the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, in which, through a team of senior students (from the 60+ program of this school), television content of an informative nature is being produced (interviews and reports), and these students are responsible for all the inherent phases and processes (carried out outdoors and in studio) to the creation of these programs from the preproduction moment to the final one when the content is broadcasted. The results of this study allow us to suggest that, through the administration of skills and methodologies for the production of media content, in this case regarding television production, media literacy is increased in this age group. To this extent, it also allows us to consider that more informed television and media consumption about their production conditions could help combat misinformation, particularly in this age group.
高级电视--制作信息作为深化媒体素养和抵御错误信息的一种方式
从历史上看,媒体一直是社会见证和解读构成世界的无数事件的一个镜头。如今,虚假信息已成为社会的祸害之一,而老年人被认为是最容易受到其影响的年龄组。 然而,我们几乎可以习以为常地认为,尽管历史上的距离一直存在,但老一代人也不能免于技术发展对我们社会的不断冲击。落后者 "的时代已经一去不复返了(罗杰斯,1995 年),这个词用来描述老年人之间的技术差距。由于数字媒体在这一年龄段的人群中发挥着众多仪式性和工具性的功能,他们目前是 "数字移民"(Prensky, 2001)。 在这种情况下,制作、创造和播放内容的能力就成为了一个参与性日益增强的社会的特 征。通过强调视频、电视和电视信息在传统上对老年人的重要性,莱里亚理工学院莱里亚教育学院正在开发老年电视项目,在该项目中,通过一个老年学生团队(来自该校的 60+ 项目),正在制作信息性质的电视内容(访谈和报道),这些学生负责这些节目从前期制作到最终播出的所有固有阶段和过程(在室外和演播室进行)。这项研究的结果使我们可以认为,通过对媒体内容制作技能和方法的管理(这里指的是电视制作),这个年龄段的学生的媒体素养得到了提高。从这个意义上讲,我们也可以认为,电视和媒体消费对其制作条件的更多了解有助于消除误导,尤其是对这一年龄段的人而言。
