Mutual understanding in online news for ethical information

Abstract

Nowadays mobility between goods and people is moving faster and faster. Multinationals adapt the same speech for different types of communities. Information and communication are almost immediate thanks to the development of telecommunication technology, first with satellite TV and later by the Internet. In this context Information Literacies need to become citizensensitive to the new rules of communication in a multilingual and multicultural world. After describing the World Wide Web as a multilingual space, we will develop our argument that journalists’ awareness of multilingualism and multiculturalism can contribute to Information Literacy through an interculturalapproach of the news.
