Fake news is a problematic phrase. Does it simply mean stories that
are truly fake? Does it include a story whose facts are basically
true but twisted by manipulative language and fallacious reasoning?
Where do memes and fabricated images fall in this definition? Is it
new, or just propaganda? And yet, "fake news" is the phrase that
has captured people's attention. While librarians have justified
concerns that "fake news" does not fully (or even accurately)
capture the nuances of our problematic information ecosystem, it's
a phrase that resonates with and is used by others. Teaching about
Fake News adds to this ongoing conversation by helping librarians
think about the topic through the lens of different disciplines and
audiences, and focus on an aspect of fake news that will be
compelling to a particular audience or in a specific setting. The
book contains 23 chapters with full lesson plans arranged into
seven themes: algorithms/altmetrics, visual literacy, media
literacy, memes, business, science communication, the
financial/political impact of fake news, and partnerships. Each
chapter has an accompanying PowerPoint freely available in the ACRL
Sandbox (sandbox.acrl.org) and findable with the tag "#fakenews".
Fake news is a huge subject with numerous angles and perspectives.
By taking a more nuanced approach, focusing on distinct aspects of
fake news and tailored for specific audiences, librarians can move
students toward a more critical approach to news literacy.
