Accuracy is fundamental to journalism, but it’s a challenge to verify information when it flows at digital warp speed from so many sources. This presentation offers specific tools, advice and strategies to master the art of online verification. Learn how to verify a tweet, evaluate if a website is credible and check the accuracy of your own work.

This is a presentation I gave as part of an NIHR masterclass event for its trainees earlier this year. It seemed to go down well and hopefully there are some useful pointers in here for people communicating about health research or science.
RESEARCH IN THE WORKPLACE Research in the workplace solves a.docxWilheminaRossi174
RESEARCH IN THE WORKPLACE
Research in the workplace solves a problem. Tasked with a problem in the workplace,
you may be asked to gather the information necessary to fully understand the issue at
hand, solve that problem (or offer potential solutions), prove that your solutions are
viable, and/or test your solution(s).
Because research in the workplace focuses on addressing specific problems or issues,
finding the information you need may be a mixture of different avenues. Often, this
research will need to go beyond simply querying a library database or using Google. You
often will need to speak directly to target populations and audiences, and directly
contact resources and experts in different professions and in the community. You also
may need information in addition to or instead of scholarly resources. Local and national
journalism may add context and perspective. Professional experts, government agencies,
state, and local authorities all may be relevant sources. Additionally, asking your
individuals in target populations directly, for example through a survey, can also be a
valuable source of information. Essentially, research in the workplace requires you to
think critically and creatively about
• The type of information you need; and
• The best way to get that information.
Your job as a researcher is to address, explain, and/or solve a problem using the most
relevant and applicable methods and resources. If a resource can supply information you
need, then it is the right resource for the job.
It’s also important when thinking about a problem you’re researching to keep in mind
that you probably aren’t the first person or organization to deal with this issue. Look at
other organizations, groups, or communities negotiating the same or similar issue.
Research how those groups describe and deal with the problem. The perspective of
experience is invaluable to your work.
ASSIGNMENT
This project asks you to do workplace research into a local problem impacting USF or
the surrounding community. Your goal for this project is to describe a local problem in
detail using as much information as you can gather from as many different sources as are
useful. That means you are looking at research gathered by others (e.g., government
agencies, non-profit organizations, professional and academic experts, as well as local
sources from USF or the immediate community), but also you will gather your own data
by asking impacted population for their perspective by creating a survey. You will
produce a memo that reports your findings, giving readers a robust understanding of the
local problem you have researched.
To complete this project, you will choose a local problem occurring at USF or in the
community. You can select a problem from the list below or pick your own problem of a
similar nature.
Sample Problems:
• Mental health on campus
• Campus safety
• Impact of COVID on student performance
•.

Robert and Dixie have been assigned to speak on either side of an issue, a kind of “pros and cons” format. They chose home schooling as their issue. each has a general position on it (Dixie is in favor, and Robert against) but they admit they just don't know that much about it. So what now? How do they become well enough informed to give a speech on the topic? Where should they even start? How can you keep track of your research? Do you have cite it?Overview
Research is necessary for an effective public speech. This chapter will help you make responsible, well-crafted, and carefully executed research choices. First, we will help you figure out what you already know and translate that knowledge into a research strategy. Next, we will provide some concrete tips on where to go for research (including other people as well as the Internet and the library), how to design a good search query for search engines and databases, and how to narrow your search. After that, we will address what you need to do once you have collected your research material, including how to read through it, take notes, and evaluate which sources are worthwhile. Finally, we will deal with how to use your research process to refine your arguments, choose and organize your quotations, and give proper credit for the sources you use in your speech.

Researching, composing, and delivering an effective public speech requires you to acquire some expertise on your topic. You don't have to be the kind of expert who can produce original facts, figures, and data and publish groundbreaking work regarding your topic. But you do need to become enough of an expert on your topic to translate the research that you have done to an audience that may not have the same background or comfort with concepts and terminology that you have developed in your research. On your topic, you are the expert for your audience's purposes. You should cultivate enough expertise on your topic to bring new insights to .

Incorporating Propaganda Analysis in the Use of the Framework for Information...Greg Hardin
This paper highlights principles of propaganda analysis as supplements to the Association of College and Research Libraries' (ACRL) Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, helping librarians redesign instruction sessions and teaching students to navigate an ocean of information in a Post-Truth era using propaganda examples as pedagogical tools.
The Institute for Propaganda Analysis (IPA), established in 1937, taught the American public to recognize and analyze propaganda materials created by domestic and foreign sources. Violet Edwards, educational director of IPA, believed that librarians were in unique positions to teach propaganda analysis to the public. Edwards noted that librarians “must be encouraged to take a position of leadership and of responsibility in today’s most vital educational task—the development on the part of all of us of the ability to think critically and creatively.”
The ACRL’s Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education educates information users about “the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning.” Eighty years before the adoption of the Framework, the IPA developed the ABC’s of Propaganda Analysis as a seven-point guide for the general public to analyze propaganda materials.
The IPA disbanded in 1942, but its ABC’s of Propaganda Analysis are relevant and valuable in a Post-Truth era where “fake news” and “alternative facts” pervade the information ecosystem. This paper explores where the ABC’s overlap with the Framework. This paper also highlights principles of propaganda analysis as supplements to the Framework, helping librarians redesign instruction sessions and teaching students to navigate an ocean of information in a Post-Truth era using propaganda examples as pedagogical tools.

Getting Started
No doubt there has been a time when you wanted something from your parents, your supervisor, or your friends, and you thought about how you were going to present your request. But do you think about how often people—including people you have never met and never will meet—want something from you? When you watch television, advertisements reach out for your attention, whether you watch them or not. When you use the Internet, pop-up advertisements often appear. Living in the United States, and many parts of the world, means that you have been surrounded, even inundated, by persuasive messages. Mass media in general and television in particular make a significant impact you will certainly recognize. Consider these facts:
· The average person sees between four hundred and six hundred ads per day—that is forty million to fifty million by the time he or she is sixty years old. One of every eleven commercials has a direct message about beauty.[1]
· By age eighteen, the average American teenager will have spent more time watching television—25,000 hours—than learning in a classroom.[2]
· An analysis of music videos found that nearly one-fourth of all MTV videos portray overt violence, with attractive role models being aggressors in more than 80 percent of the violent videos.[3]
· Forty percent of nine- and ten-year-old girls have tried to lose weight, according to an ongoing study funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. [4]
· A 1996 study found that the amount of time an adolescent watches soaps, movies, and music videos is associated with their degree of body dissatisfaction and desire to be thin. [5]
· Identification with television stars (for girls and boys), models (girls), or athletes (boys) positively correlated with body dissatisfaction. [6]
· At age thirteen, 53 percent of American girls are “unhappy with their bodies.” This grows to 78 percent by the time they reach seventeen. [7]
· By age eighteen, the average American teenager will witness on television 200,000 acts of violence, including 40,000 murders. [8]
Mass communication contains persuasive messages, often called propaganda, in narrative form, in stories and even in presidential speeches. When President Bush made his case for invading Iraq, his speeches incorporated many of the techniques we’ll cover in this chapter. Your local city council often involves dialogue, and persuasive speeches, to determine zoning issues, resource allocation, and even spending priorities. You yourself have learned many of the techniques by trial and error and through imitation. If you ever wanted the keys to your parents’ car for a special occasion, you used the princip ...

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

12. IF MANY PEOPLE ARE POSTING
EXACT SAME THING, RED ALERT!
IF MANY MEDIA ARE POSTING
SAME THING, IT COULD BE TRUE!
14. DAVID RAPP
• The human brain views accurate, reasonable information as
boring compared to hyperbolic, outrageous information, which
makes it more memorable. Additionally, it becomes easier to
accept information rather than to critically evaluate it.
15. CONFIRMATION BIASES
• Subconscious tendency to seek and interpret
information and other evidence in ways that affirm our
existing beliefs, ideas, expectations, and/or
hypotheses.
• Echo chamber effect as we engage with contents
based on the tendency.
16. PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES
• People are more likely to accept misinformation as fact
if it’s easy to hear or read.
• People deploy skepticism selectively—for instance,
when they’re less critical of ideas that align with their
political beliefs.
• Misinformation appeals to our emotions strongly thus
our capacity to critically examine received information
diminishes.
