Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Information and misinformation spread at unprecedented speeds in today’s hyper-connected world, and communities need robust tools to discern truth from deception. This article presents Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as a powerful method to decode language, expose hidden biases, and challenge manipulative narratives. By examining the language and context behind news, social media posts, and public discourse, CDA empowers individuals to critically evaluate information, build media literacy, and contribute to a more informed and resilient society.
