<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="color:black;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt">The problem of “fake news” has captured the attention of administrators and instructors, resulting in a rising demand for librarians to help students learn how to find and evaluate
news sources. But we know that the phrase “fake news” is applied broadly, used to describe a myriad of media literacy issues such as misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, and hoaxes. There’s no way we can teach everything there is to know about “fake
news” in a 50-minute one-shot library session. What we can do is tailor our sessions to be relevant to the specific audience. For example, a psychology class may benefit from a session about cognitive biases, while an IT class might want to talk about the
non-neutrality of algorithms. Special populations such as non-traditional students or writing center tutors could also be considered.</span></p><p><u></u></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"> </span><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt">Although the chapter may include how you teach the topic, the emphasis should be on the “why” behind fake news. Why is it so prevalent? Why do people believe it? Why does it matter? Successful
proposals will select one narrow reason and explore it in-depth. The heart of the chapter should explore a particular issue; this is not intended to be an activity cookbook. </span></p><p><u></u></p>
