Kiwi Kids News is a website created by Shem and Rachel Banbury to provide news for kids. The document discusses fake news, which are hoaxes or propaganda designed to look like real news stories. Fake news sites often use outrageous headlines to get clicks. The document also discusses how schools can help by teaching media literacy and research skills to help students identify fake news. It suggests Kiwi Kids News educates students through featured articles and lessons on evaluating sources and writing styles to stop the spread of fake news. The future may involve more education and relying on fewer, more trustworthy news sources.

I was recently asked to put together a presentation on the fake news phenomenon for discussions with leading journalists and media institutions in a developing country, with extremely poor media literacy but strong growth around social media use, on how to both identify misleading content and also stem its flow, reach and influence.
Download the full presentation as a PowerPoint (with embedded videos) or as an Apple Keynote file, here - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxbk4wYolphwcVk4bV85aEFtYXc
This presentation was researched and developed to introduce the small businesses and not for profits that the idea of social media is not a new fad. My goal was to break down any preconceived notions about the power of Social Media today and in the future.
Ethics in social media - targeted to journalists, but applicable to students and professionals. This was done as a "quiz" to promote discussion - presenter should show the first slide and ask the question - then show the answer on the next slide.

ISSUE ANALYSIS 1
· Article Link:https://www.ipsos.com/en-sg/susceptibility-singaporeans-towards-fake-news
· Article title: The susceptibility of Singaporeans towards fake news
· Issued by: Ipsos (Global Independent Market Research Agency)
· Key Messages:
1. Singaporeans are inaccurate in identifying fake news.
2. Singaporeans accessed the news more frequently via nontraditional channels than traditional channels.
3. Singaporeans are reliant upon social media as a source of information (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter).
· Relevance (key Issues):
A Survey to find out how well Singaporean can identify fake news was conducted online from 30 July 2018 – 2 August 2018, age 15-65 years old. Only 79% of Singaporeans are confident in their ability to identify fake news and the levels of vulnerability on fake news are higher among parents. Certain demographic groups are more likely to priorities the truthfulness of the news, however irrespective of educational attainment and media consumption habits, Singaporeans find it difficult to discern between real and fake news. Singapore Press Holdings play an important role to publish authentic news and ensure that fake news should not be published in any form of media channels.

· Article title: Student who posted fake PMO announcement on Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s death given stern warning
· Issued by: Singapore Police Force
· Key Messages:
1. There was a fake announcement on the death of former prime minister Mr. Lee Kuan Yew.
2. It has fooled international news outlet such as CNN and CCTV using a screenshot photograph from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) website.
3. There were no hacking or unauthorized accesses of the PMO website.
· Relevance (Key Issues):
Using the advance technology in today’s era, a 16 years old Singaporean male student circulated a screenshot photograph purportedly from the Prime Minister’s Office Website, announcing the death of Mr Lee Kuan Yew. It was widely disseminated in through the internet and had even fooled international news outlet such as CNN and CCTV which result in a damaged reputation for Singapore. Students should know the consequences of disseminating false news especially from the Government. To avoid such incident from happening again, Singapore Press Holding should create awareness to parents about the consequences of producing fake news, and giving them tips and advises on how to educate their kids well using the internet and social media.

Peer Review 1 Tool Summary Becoming A Reliable.docxhallettfaustina
Peer Review 1 Tool: Summary
Becoming A Reliable Critic by Evaluating Writing
The ability to critique our own writing, to find mistakes and correct them, is developed over time as we read and evaluate the work of others, then apply what we have learned to our own work. To facilitate this process, I am providing some focused questions to help you learn to critique Paper 1 effectively. Particularly since your first paper is a summary, rather than the personal or analytical essays you might be used to writing, the criteria shifts to what the original author is saying, rather than any personal view of the the student summarizer.
You may also use these questions to critique your own work. For your Peer Review, please follow the numbered format of this sheet in answering the questions. For example, discuss thesis first, then main points, etc. Be sure to answer all applicable questions.
Evaluation Questions:
1. The ThesisFollowing summary conventions, is the thesis clearly indicated in the first few sentences, along with original author and title? Is the thesis accurate to the original?Is it expressed in the summarizer’s own words?
2. Main pointsHas the summarizer selected the appropriate main points? Is there a point that you need to hear about, or more about?Are the main points accurately expressed, in the summarizer’s own words? If a quote is used, is it an appropriate quote?If there are any details brought up, are they limited and significant to the main points?
3. Organization/CoherenceAre there appropriate paragraph breaks? (Remember that a summary should not be a series of detached, short paragraphs. Main points will be integrated into paragraphs together.)Does the summary flow well, both between sentences and between paragraphs? Where does the summary seem disjointed or choppy?
4. Paraphrasing/Style/MechanicsOverall, does the summarizer do a good job of using his/her own words? What sentences might seem awkward, choppy or inaccurate? What sentences are good examples of paraphrasing?Are there places where word choices are confusing?Are there places where grammar errors distract from meaning?
5. ToneDoes the summarizer remain consistently objective throughout the summary?
6. Opinion paragraphDoes the summarizer take a clear position on the original essay in this paragraph?Is the opinion well developed with specific support? Where would you like to hear more?

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Stories that look like real news stories but are hoaxes,
propaganda, and disinformation.
Fake news typically appears on websites that look
professional. The stories often relate to topics and people
who are trending on Google and Facebook.
The stories usually have outrageous headlines designed to
get people to click.

7. Growing problem in recent
yearsNews is no longer monopolized by “legacy media” – newspapers, TVs and
radio.
Anyone can start a blog and claim to be a journalist. Most fake news comes
from websites.
Less librarians, who traditionally taught research skills.
Media literacy is no longer taught at many schools.
People are gullible and can’t distinguish real news from fake, studies show.
They view the media as the monolith.
8. Why spread fake news?
Sometimes these stories are created to attract an audience
and the advertising revenues that come with it.
Sometimes these stories are published to harm someone’s
reputation.
Political or social gain.
9. What does Kiwi Kids News
do to stop fake news?
- We don’t need to be a quick news service.
- Double check articles.
- Articles we are doubtful about we pose a question.
- Starting on the process of education
- feature article /
- fake news lessons
- overview unit / teaching styles of writing / senior unit
11. What can we you
do?
Teach learning process
We must educate our students.
1. Frameworks must become common in
classrooms
2. Trust few sites– big sites will become more
important.
3. Understand bias
- Facebook
- News sites
We must educate our staff on digital and media
literacy
