Abstract

This paper aim to present some topics of critical thinking, understood as a necessary tool to face the digital and media complexity’s challenges, such as post-truth and fake news that represent a threat to building consensus and to the education of informed and responsible citizens. There are also some partial results, part of an ongoing doctoral research project, in which we have been analysing the habits of “digital natives” in the face of news posted on social networks.
