Information disorder: How to think critically about the news In-Person

Misinformation, disinformation, bias, propaganda, “fake news,” bots, algorithms, “post-truth,” “alternative facts,” information pollution, memes, clickbait, echo chambers, filter bubbles, information overload...

How can we more skillfully navigate the news in today’s messy and confusing information environment?

This interactive workshop will ask participants to reflect on their own news practices. We’ll look at the various types of news content and some of the problems that can creep in. And we’ll introduce a critical thinking skills framework through which to evaluate the news around us.
