Abstract
This study aims to examine media content in the Republic of North Macedonia to identify the presence and use of disinformation and misinformation, and to explore the relationship between media literacy education and public perceptions of these phenomena. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates both qualitative and quantitative methods across two distinct studies with complementary objectives. The findings indicate a significant presence of disinformation and misinformation within North Macedonian media, alongside a notable deficiency in the audience's ability—particularly among youth—to critically assess and verify online content. The study offers valuable insights into the current media environment and provides actionable recommendations for enhancing media transparency and combating false narratives through targeted media literacy education initiatives.
