The problem of information naïveté

Roberta Brody

Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2008, vol. 59, issue 7, 1124-1127

Abstract: With the rapidly changing Web‐enabled world, the already existing dichotomy between knowing of and knowing about, or information naïveté, widens daily. This article explores the ethical dilemmas that can result from the lack of information literacy. The article also discusses conditions and consequences of information naïveté, media bias, possessive memory, and limited contexts and abilities. To help avoid information failure, the author recommends producers, contributors, disseminators, and aggregators of information be less information naïve.
