Today, the prevalence of social media, the rise of algorithms, filter bubbles,
“bots”, and international hacking efforts have brought the issue of “fake
news” to the forefront of our national and international consciousness. As
you read in the webtext this week, the spread of misinformation is not an
entirely new problem and it does not have one simple solution. However,
there are changes all information consumers can make to how they engage
with stories, facts, and data that can lead us from a “post-truth” world to a
“pro-truth” world.
Begin by reading chapter 4 of the webtext and viewing all of Professor Alex

• How do you think we can move beyond confirmation bias to make
sure what we’re accepting and sharing is true?
