Summary/Abstract: Young people play an important role in combating misinformation, especially in Brazil, where the population under 30 represents more than 42% of the population. Considering the reality established between convergence, the relationship between young people and the media demands new forms of teaching pedagogy that promote different forms of literacy, such as transmedia reading of information. In this sense, school education can be the way to awaken young people's new knowledge about the media, helping them in the processes that affect journalistic information and the fight against misinformation. This research presents some data considered relevant, extracted from the Master‘s research in development, in CommunicationSciences at the University of Minho, in Braga, Portugal.
