6:00 pm - Fake News: Understanding and Counteracting Falsehoods & Misinformation Online

November 2, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Much is said about fake news, but this much is clear – especially in a global pandemic, it isn’t going away. In this nonpartisan and welcoming workshop, learn what we talk about when we talk about fake news, where it comes from, how to spot it, and how to protect your loved ones from its influence.

Participants will learn quick, common-sense skills to spot falsehood and misdirection and use their new detective abilities to test their skills against a gauntlet of real-life examples.

All ages welcome, with special tips for seniors.
