Media education and journalism on digital platforms: a report on the consumption of online content by high school students

This article proposes to examine the interaction between digital platforms, journalism and media education, based on the results of a news literacy experience with students of the 3rd year of High School at the Colégio de Aplicação da UFSC, in Florianópolis, and in dialogue with national and international scientific literature on the subject. The data collected in the laboratory with students result from 53 responses to the questionnaire applied, from which comments were selected that indicate content consumption habits, impressions about digital life and the press. The methodological approach used bibliographic research, participant observation of researchers and selection of students' reports, establishing a landscape of the local context of the young people. The results reinforce news literacy as a strategy to practically cope with the demands of media education and journalism.
