Introduction


With the arrival of the digital era, the Internet has gradually penetrated into all aspects of people's lives. While people enjoy convenient and fast information transmission and rich and colorful information content, they also face challenges from various media information. In order for people to maintain a clear mind in the complex media world, appropriate media information cognition and judgment ability are essential.
