1/ As NLP's @pamelabrunskill.bsky.social says in this @edweek.org piece, many young people aren’t paying attention to whether what they’re seeing is “news or propaganda or entertainment." For many online users, Pam adds, “they’re all equal in terms of how you take in the world.” #NewsLiteracy

Reminders for following a breaking news story like the shooting of Charlie Kirk in Utah ⤵️ ⚠️ Bad actors & opportunists often use such moments when information is being gathered & fact-checked to recklessly push unverified claims & conspiracy theories. 🔗 Download the poster: bit.ly/BreakingNews...

Text-heavy and colorful infographic titled BREAKING NEWS CHECKLIST with
6 tips on "What to do when information is scarce, falsehoods are rampant
and the story is still unfolding" 1 Mind the gap: Keep in mind that
there’s often a gap between what the public wants to know and the verified
information available. Unconfirmed or completely bogus content often rushes in
to fill that gap. 2 Beware bad actors: Remember that bad actors often
capitalize on breaking news situations to spread falsehoods for easy likes and
shares. 3 Do a quick search: This is often your best defense against
misinformation. 4 Look for evidence: Claims that make bold assertions but
provide no links or other evidence should always be approached with caution. 5
Seek credible sources: Be intentional about looking for credible news and not
relying on social media algorithms to bring you updates. 6 Practice patience:
Quality journalism and verification take time. Be ready to follow news
developments over time.
