Description

Nolan Higdon's "The Anatomy of Fake News" explains how fake news, a threat to democracy and public safety, has evolved over time, from the Salem witch trials to the spread of misinformation on the internet. It explores the history of fake news and the various strategies employed to spread it, including by political parties, propaganda machines, and social media companies. Higdon argues that a crucial defense against fake news is to develop critical news literacy skills in order to evaluate information and discern credible sources.
