Abstract
The chapter informs about the increasing necessity for media and information
literacy (MIL) to act as a strategic guideline toward civic resilience against the
detrimental effects of digital transformation in Baltic and Nordic countries.
Despite evident differences between the two regions, similarities are noted
among countries in terms of the urgency of requests to adequately respond
to information disruption such as information manipulation and the influx of
disinformation. Nordic countries exhibit a progressive outlook on MIL with
well-established institutionalized media education programs and a commitment
to regularly assess and adjust MIL objectives in response to evolving digital
landscapes and their flaws. However, concern is increasing about the economic
and business challenges faced by conventional news media on the one hand and
public trust in media on the other hand.
