Resum

This study aimed to contribute to the current literature on the awareness of and the methods against disinformation. It has tried to do so by conducting a quantitative research analysis on the perceptions of three generations, X, Y, and Z, towards the issue of intentional false information spreading within the Bulgarian media. A questionnaire in both English and Bulgarian languages has been distributed to a sample of the Bulgarian population and has reached a total number of 238 completed surveys. The paper provides a detailed analysis on the results for each separate age group through easy-to-read graphs and charts showing precise statistics from the questionnaire results. Thus, through a thorough comparison of the findings, the research draws some relevant conclusions which should hopefully prove to be beneficial and bridge the current gap in the literature.
