A practical learning session on how to verify information, find reliable sources, and avoid falling for fake news and misleading content.
During the fifth Media School session, we will explore fact-checking — a skill that helps distinguish facts from false information and make decisions based on verified sources.
Participants will learn how to verify facts, find original sources, evaluate the reliability of websites and publications, and recognize signs of misinformation. We will also explore how to check photos, quotes, statistics, and claims shared in the media and on social networks.
We will also discuss how not to become a source of misinformation yourself. Participants will learn a simple step-by-step approach to checking information before believing, commenting on, or sharing it.
The session will be practical, with real-life examples, interactive tasks, and mini fact-checking challenges designed to improve attention to detail and help participants verify information like professionals.
