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.

Read Katy Steinmetz’s ,  and viewing all of Professor Alex Edmans TED Talk What to Trust in a Post-Truth World, use link below:

create an initial post that responds to each of the prompts below:

  • Edmans argues that confirmation bias causes us to believe information that confirms our point of view, which sometimes leads to accepting and sharing information that is fake, misleading, or misrepresentative. Think of an example of this from your own life. How did confirmation bias shape your understanding of an issue?
  • Give some specific strategies to explain how we can move beyond confirmation bias to make sure what were accepting and sharing is true.  
  • Who do you think bears the primary responsibility for stopping the spread of fake news, information consumers, information producers, or the government?  

Your post should include at least one outside source (and an accompanying citation) to support your points.

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
