From acclaimed writer, journalist, and physician Dr. Seema Yasmin
comes a "savvy, accessible, and critical" (Kirkus Reviews, starred
review) book about the importance of media literacy, fact-based
reporting, and the ability to discern truth from lies. What is a
fact? What are reliable sources? What is news? What is fake news?
How can anyone make sense of it anymore? Well, we have to. As
conspiracy theories and online hoaxes increasingly become a part of
our national discourse and "truth" itself is being questioned, it
has never been more vital to build the discernment necessary to
tell fact from fiction, and media literacy has never been more
important. In this accessible guide, Dr. Seema Yasmin, an
award-winning journalist, scientist, medical professional, and
professor, traces the spread of misinformation and disinformation
through our fast-moving media landscape and teaches young readers
the skills that will help them identify and counter poorly-sourced
clickbait and misleading headlines.
