Fake news, alternative facts and misinformation – using critical thinking to evaluate media sources

In the high-speed world of reality-optional politics, “alternative” facts, and “fake” news, how can you identify news sources that are accurate and trustworthy? There are tools and approaches to help you be a more effective evaluator of news sources and news content. Join us for an hour of practice recognizing reliable news sources and separating them from the “alternative,” fake, truthy, and promotional versions.
