Abstract

Catfishing is a new phenomenon resulting from the strong growth from using internet and the consequent massification of social media. Five students of the bachelor’s degree in Multimedia Production in Education took two questionnaires, one on Catfishing and the other on the dangers of the Internet, within the framework of the Media Discourse Analysis Curricular Unit. The study was to meet the objectives of the Curricular Unit, such as understanding the impact of (multi)media on individuals and society; to know the different media discourses, in their forms of production and reception; collect, select and interpret the relevant information; produce an analytical discourse on the media and reflect critically on the media contemporaneity. It was concluded that it was possible to understand digital literacy in the use of the Internet and social networks with regard to the phenomenon of Catfishing, increasingly increasing in society.
