Abstract

With the increasing prevalence and dissemination of fake videos, this study aimed to measure the Impact of Media Education Programs in enhancing adolescents' awareness of detecting deep visual forgery. An experimental study selected a sample of 60 adolescents and divided them into two groups: one exposed to deeply fake content and the other to media literacy programs. The effectiveness of the media literacy programs was evaluated, and different types of interventions were compared. The study results confirmed the ability of adolescents exposed to media literacy programs to assess and detect deep visual forgery. The study recommended that the Ministry of Education organize workshops and scientific seminars in schools to raise students' awareness of combating deep visual forgery and strive to integrate media literacy into their curricula. It also encouraged the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Social Solidarity to launch public awareness campaigns in collaboration with civil society organizations, political parties, and media agencies, to promote critical thinking skills and encourage the verification of news, images, and videos before sharing them on social media platforms.
