The Conversation U.S.With misinformation nearly everywhere, one professor tested a simple fix of 150 minutes of fact-checking homework – and it worked, boosting the students’ ability to spot misinformation by nearly 20%.
mahadevank@TheConversationUS but there's a simpler solution - simply go back to newspapers if it exists in your area
Wilfried Klaebe@mahadevank A lot of newspapers have been bought up by big publishers and publish right-wing propaganda now.
@wonka @TheConversationUS i should have added "trustworthy" to the newspaper selection - but yeah, a trustworthy newspaper
@mahadevank Good luck finding one... especially a local one.
where I live, its quite fine - but i'm on the other side of the world heh, so hugely different context.
But in a way, the point i'm trying to make is that we're trying to solve a problem we've created instead of solving the core issue.
We should not be having such crappy info/news in the first place
