Episode description

What skills do we, and students, need to deal with fake news and other low-quality information online? (And how have Benton & Abi applied these skills to their personal political disagreements?) And what is missing from the ways instructors have typically taught information literacy?  We discuss resources that can be used in the classroom, such as True or False: A CIA Analyst's Guide to Spotting Fake News by Cindy Otis. We also discuss our favorite historical examples of fake news.
