1/ 🌳 Use the analogy of an ecosystem to help students understand today’s info landscape with our NEW infographic. 👀 Analyze the poster to learn how: - the news-driven ecosystem forms an info web - content about news largely couldn’t exist without standards-based journalism #NewsLiteracyWeek
Text-heavy nfographic titled "The Information Ecosystem Depends on News." It features a "News-Driven Ecosystem" diagram with sections like the public, journalism, and raw information, emphasizing interconnected roles. Illustrations of trees and people symbolize growth and influence. The tone is educational, highlighting the significance of journalism as an anchoring tree for an informed society.

1/ What draws people to conspiracy theories & why do they often cling to them - even against a mountain of facts? Here are 5 reasons ⤵️ 🔗 Download the poster: bit.ly/5ReasonsNLP #ConspiratorialThinking
A black background graphic with overlaid text explaining five reasons why people fall for conspiracy theories.

COMPELLING STORIES: Conspiracy theories present exciting, fascinating narratives.

SIMPLIFIED EXPLENATIONS: Complex social issues and problems are rarely clear-cut. Conspiracy theories provide people with simplified explanations ... and someone or something to blame.

MOTIVATED REASONING: Believers in conspiracy theories tend to only search for and present information that confirms their theory - and to find far-fetched reasons to dismiss anything that proves them wrong.

SENSE OF BELONGING: Many conspiracy theory communities provide believers with a sense of connection and purpose that all people need.

COGNITIVE BIASES: Conspiracy theories seem much more credible and compelling than they actually are because they take advantage of common errors i the ways we think.
