| Abstract |
"Fake news can lead to real consequences. Disinformation can damage the reputations of public figures and sway public opinion in alarming directions. This title contextualizes fake news by describing the evolution of false reporting from the moment the printing press began the age of mass media. It also examines the modern digitally interconnected world, where inaccurate information can spread quickly on social media before it can be challenged. Media-literate teens can learn to spot fake news, and this title provides the tools for young adults to become savvy news consumers qualified to evaluate the issues at stake in society today"-- Provided by publisher. |
