Fake News, Disinformation, and Misinformation: Strategies for Critically Evaluating Media Sources
Disinformation and misinformation have had major impacts on both the personal and political. It has become increasingly difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, and most of us have been duped at some point. Students and history instructors were nearly equally likely to evaluate information on the Internet inaccurately, according to a Stanford University study. This workshop will teach you how to recognize "false news" and provide you the skills needed to analyze information more efficiently.
