Here are some key strategies to identify unreliable news stories and information online:
- Consider the source - check if it's from a well-known, reputable news organization. Unknown or suspicious sources could indicate it's unreliable.
- Check the date - outdated stories may have been fact-checked already. New stories need extra verification.
- Look for evidence - reliable journalism cites sources and evidence. Stories without supporting facts or sources are less trustworthy.
- Watch for emotional language - objective, balanced reporting is more credible than stories designed to provoke strong emotions.
- Verify with other sources - cross-check details across several reliable outlets before sharing widely. Inconsistencies could mean it's false.
-
Fake news stories look like real news but contain made-up or false information. There are two main reasons why fake news websites spread lies - to make money from clicks and to change how people think. It is important to check for reliable sources and verify information from multiple trustworthy media sources before believing or sharing news online. Key steps include checking the URL, looking at the 'About' section of websites, and asking questions like who created the information and what evidence and other sources say.
Fake news is untrue information presented as news. It often has the aim of damaging the reputation of a person or entity or making money through advertising revenue. Once common in print, the prevalence of fake news has increased with the rise of social media, especially the Facebook News Feed

In 2006, we first learned that even the brightest students were easily fooled by internet hoaxes like the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus. While we tried to laugh this off as the folly of misguided youth, a decade later we witnessed the rise of fake news and its impact on the โpost-truthโ world of 2016 overrun by an ever-growing network of social media. To fight for truth, justice, and yes, even the American way, this session presents a collection of superhero-themed critical thinking activities designed to empower you and your students to conquer the evils of fake news.
English 2201: What's News? Satire, Hoaxes & Fake NewsTrudy Morgan-Cole

The document discusses different types of fake news that spread online, including satire, hoaxes, and fringe opinions. Satire uses humor and exaggeration to critique issues in society, though some people believe it. Hoaxes intentionally spread false information to mislead people, sometimes for profit or amusement. Fringe opinions represent unproven claims that some people genuinely believe but lack evidence. It's important to critically evaluate news sources and stories by checking for facts, corroboration, and disclaimers before spreading online information.

The document discusses an old English proverb about a father charging his sons with breaking sticks. When the sticks are together in a bundle, they cannot break them, showing the strength that comes from unity. The proverb demonstrates that coordination and unity provide strength. An American engineer sees this proverb as catalyzing innovation by showing how teams working together can achieve more than individuals.
The Pride of Bowen, a ship carrying 100 tonnes of soil and operated by North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporations, ran aground in the Great Barrier Reef due to mechanical issues and severe weather. Investigations are underway by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority into the incident. So far, no soil has leaked from the ship into the surrounding environment. While this single accident is being probed, the General Manager of Great Barrier Reef Operations expressed confidence in NQBPC's ability to safely manage other operations going forward.
This survey was conducted to learn more about the target audience for a documentary. The responses showed that most of the target audience is 18 years old, spends 5-9 hours on mobile phones daily, and believes technology has a large impact on daily life. While the audience has a generally positive view of social media and technology, many think reliance on it has grown too much. Most watch crime and educational documentaries and shows like Peaky Blinders on BBC platforms. The survey provided useful insights into the demographics, interests, and views of the target documentary audience.

The document discusses a survey and interviews conducted about viewers' perceptions of the accuracy of conventional news sources. The survey asked questions about demographics, preferred news sources, trust in news sources, perceived accuracy of different stations, and other topics. The results showed that most viewers believe news from their preferred source but have lower trust in other sources. Interviews with survey participants provided feedback on question wording and identified biases. The conclusion is that viewers believe around half of news information and trust sources they have developed relationships with.
Langston Hughes' poem "I, Too" expresses his feelings as an African American facing racial inequality and segregation in the 1920s. The poem's speaker declares that he is also part of America as the "darker brother," pushing back against the marginalization of black people. Hughes uses the poem to voice his perspective on the racial issues of his time through powerful and assertive language.
Facebook is introducing news flags to identify fake content on its platform. While this aims to limit the spread of misinformation, the approach has limitations. It is easy for activist groups to game the system by mass-flagging opposing views. Also, stories flagged as containing false information may not provide enough context about what exactly is false. Facebook could improve by helping debunking articles spread, showing more transparency in its fact-checking process, and supporting digital media literacy education for users.
The document discusses information literacy and how to combat fake news through education. It describes a workshop held at the University of Bedfordshire that taught students how to identify fake news by checking sources, looking for corroborating information from other sites, and avoiding echo chambers. Students provided positive feedback and suggested the session could have been longer with more examples to provide a deeper understanding of the topic.

It provides examples of analyzing texts for biases related to chain stores, credit cards and outsourcing.
Anisa Ilyas designed a questionnaire to determine what their target audience, 16-18 year olds, look for in documentaries. The questionnaire found that more females than males watch documentaries regularly. It also found that both genders most frequently watch Channel 4 between 7-11pm. Respondents said they want documentaries to tell a story, teach them something new, or share a meaningful message. All respondents said they would be interested in a documentary about social media and that they could not live without social media. This information will help create a documentary about social media targeted at 16-18 year olds.

Social media can impact the economy of an entire country. Costa Rica aims to use platforms like Facebook and Instagram to promote and sell its coffee internationally. However, accurately measuring social media's effects remains challenging. Building an online audience requires careful planning, creative content, and engagement with followers through comments and replies. It is also important to verify information from social media accounts to avoid spreading misinformation from fake or automated accounts. While attention on social platforms can drive economic gains, it also enables the spread of propaganda and false narratives that influence public opinion.
The document provides an overview of the history of social networks from 2003 to 2017. It discusses the early social networks that focused on connecting existing friends and sharing information. Over time, social media evolved to encourage sharing of one's life through photos and video on platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
ย
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

2. Tariq and his dad were listening to the local radio station while driving
to school. Suddenly the music stopped and a news announcement came
on the radio, โBreaking news. Weโre getting reports of a road closure
on the A441 between St Johnโs road and the Newhall roundabout. All
motorists are advised to take alternative routes wherever possible.โ
โI hope everyoneโs ok. Thatโs right by your school, Tariq,โ said Dad.
โI think weโll go the other way to school.โ
Why do you think the radio
station stopped the music?
What did Tariqโs dad do after
hearing the news story?
Why do adults often listen to
traffic news while travelling?
3. Identify strategies that can help us to
recognise unreliable news stories and
information online.
Describe how text and images in the
media can be unreliable and untrue.
Explain why we should always check if
online information and news is correct
before sharing.
4. What is the news?
Itโs likely that your parents, guardians
and older family members all access
some form of news. So, what is โthe
newsโ and why do people want to
access it? What are the different
ways that people can find out the
news? Do we ever need to be careful
when accessing the news?
Discuss these questions with a
partner and weโll hear your ideas
in a moment.
5. What is the news?
The news gives us information
about the things that are currently
happening in the world.
Sometimes the news is local,
meaning that it relates to events
and stories that are happening in
your area.
We also have national and
international news, which relates
to stories that affect the country
or even the whole world.
6. What is the news?
There are many different ways that
we can access the news including TV,
radio, newspapers, magazines and
online sources such as on social
media.
People access the news for a variety
of reasons. For many people the
news is a form of entertainment, for
others, the news is simply a source
of information.
7. What is the news?
In todayโs lesson, weโll be looking at
why the news is important, and
whether the stories that we read
online are always trustworthy.
8. So, why is the news important?
First of all, we need some
volunteer readers to get us
started.
We will read the
information sheet together
as a class first before we
move on to our next
activity. Volunteers will be
going to break first today!
9. So, why would someone want to
spread false information?
A famous example of fake news
occurred in 1957 when Panorama
(a very popular current affairs
programme) played an April
Foolsโ Day joke on the nation.
Watch the video clip carefully,
then weโll discuss the questions
on the following slide.
