Misinformation generation | Ballot rumors | L.A. Times' 'history of racism'

Misinformation cuts across generations

Two new studies tap into the growing interest in generational differences
when it comes to misinformation savvy. The big takeaway? While it’s easy to
blame others for spreading so-called fake news, young and old alike
struggle to navigate today’s tangled information landscape.

A report

from the Reboot Foundation, a nonprofit organization that promotes critical
thinking, examines the online behaviors of 150 respondents across two age
groups: those 60 and older and younger adults ages 18 to 30. The study
paints a nuanced picture of how age might impact a person’s ability to shun
clickbait, recognize legitimate news headlines and assess the credibility
of websites. Older Americans, for instance, preferred clickbait headlines
over neutral headlines more than their younger counterparts, but old and
young both overestimate their own skills in identifying unreliable websites.

A separate study

are more likely to buy into false claims about the virus. The study, a
joint project of researchers from Northeastern University, Harvard
University, Rutgers University and Northwestern University, surveyed 21,196
people about 11 bogus claims related to COVID-19. The youngest group – ages
18 to 24 — had an 18% probability of believing virus-related
misinformation, compared with just 9% for those 65 or older. (But it’s
worth noting that a 2019 study
<https://click.everyaction.com/k/19675417/254020957/1229701450?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwMi8xLzY0OTIwIiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogIjZiMjM1N2JiLWUxMDEtZWIxMS05NmY1LTAwMTU1ZDAzYWZmYyIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAibG91YWpjYnNAZ21haWwuY29tIg0KfQ%3D%3D&hmac=84zogmB95U7m34SUMpk9qVE60VeTvUDOCP49DNKDxD0=&emci=6aa30c81-d601-eb11-96f5-00155d03affc&emdi=6b2357bb-e101-eb11-96f5-00155d03affc&ceid=8489595>
found that those over 65 shared nearly seven times as many false articles
during the 2016 presidential campaign cycle as the youngest cohort
surveyed.)

Taken together, these studies suggest there are no easy answers or single
generational culprit for spreading falsehoods online. Instead, recognizing
that everyone is vulnerable to viral misinformation can help efforts to
curb its spread.
*Note: *Not all misleading content is created equal. Claire Wardle and the
team at First Draft offer a helpful guide

that suggests ditching umbrella labels like “fake news” in favor of more
nuanced terms such as misinformation, disinformation and malinformation.

discussing their own confidence in detecting unreliable websites. Then,
have them peruse two websites (here

to decide if they can be trusted. Challenge students to defend their
reasoning before revealing that neither website is a reliable source of
information. In fact, both are funded by groups with significant conflicts
of interest, despite efforts to appear objective. Refer to the Reboot study
for a more detailed overview of why these websites should not be trusted.
*Another Idea: *Ask students to discuss online habits with older relatives
and compare how they determine what information can be trusted. Do both the
students and their older relatives always read content carefully before
sharing it on social media? Or have students take NLP’s “Should you share
it?” quiz

*Note:* Online fake tweet generators make it easy to create convincing
images of tweets from any account one chooses. When these fake images go
viral, they are often accompanied by a claim that the tweet has since been
deleted, to explain why it doesn’t appear in the feed of the person being
impersonated.

*★ Featured rumor resource:* Use this short slide deck to work through this
example of misinformation with students. The slides first challenge
students to complete a quick search to see if they can determine whether
the alleged Trump tweet is authentic. Then they learn other strategies and
tools they can use to verify the authenticity of tweets from public figures.

*Another tip:* Fake tweets allow the creator to enter a date, time stamp
and engagement metrics. So when multiple screenshots of a controversial
tweet have identical numbers of retweets and likes and the exact same date
and time stamp, it’s a red flag. The date and time stamp on authentic
tweets display in the end user’s local time zone, and the engagement
metrics change constantly.

*Idea:* In groups, have students search social media platforms to
investigate and document this rumor. Each group might then produce a
summary, timeline, map or other representation of how this false claim
emerged and spread online.

*Discuss:* Did Newsweek handle the correction and updating of its Sept. 21
article in a clear, responsible manner? What, if anything, could it have
done differently?

News Goggles

News organizations race to relay information to audiences as quickly as
possible when major stories break. One way they do this is by sending
breaking news alerts to people who have their apps installed on their
mobile devices. This week, we’ve selected a sample of alerts sent on Sept.
23, following the decision by a grand jury not to charge any officers in
the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky — and to
charge one of them in connection with shooting into a neighboring apartment.

Let’s use our news goggles to examine these alerts and consider what
factors shaped their wording in journalists’ efforts to be fair, accurate
and fast. Download our full annotations in Microsoft Word

(Brittany Wong, HuffPost).

Stepping into the role of fact-checker when it comes to friends and family
on Facebook can be tricky, but it’s a scenario worth prepping for as more
falsehoods spread online. According to the experts cited in this article,
the tone and method of your response — public comment versus private
message — are key considerations. They also recommend avoiding “gotcha”
moments, finding common ground and doing your homework before setting the
record straight.

*Discuss: *How does creating a “gotcha” moment differ from taking a more
empathetic approach to pointing out misinformation online? What kind of
post or message would you respond best to if someone contacted you over
something that you’ve shared on social media?

*Idea: *Have students bring in an example of a friend, relative or stranger
sharing a piece of misinformation on social media. Then have students
fact-check the claim and gather trustworthy sources before coming up with
several possible scenarios for addressing the situation. The best scenarios
will include establishing common ground and using tactful language. Run
through the scenarios together and decide as a class which responses
students would be most receptive to if the roles were reversed.

(The Times Editorial Board, Los Angeles Times).

The Los Angeles Times' editorial board on Sunday published a
“self-examination” and a broad apology for what it described as the paper’s
“history of racism” and its inadequate coverage of communities of color.
The editorial said The Times has at best displayed a blind spot and “at
worst an outright hostility” to the city’s nonwhite population. The
problem, according to the editorial, is “both rooted and reflected in a
shortage of Indigenous, Black, Latino, Asian and other people of color” in
the newsroom. The piece is part of a larger project at the paper to examine
its “treatment of people of color — outside and inside the newsroom —
throughout [its] nearly 139-year history.” The project was also prompted by
a recent national reckoning on systemic racism.

*Note:* This is a good opportunity to teach students what an editorial
board is

from L.A. Times reporter Esmeralda Bermudez highlights the lack of Latinos
in leadership positions at the paper.

*Discuss: *Should other news organizations with a history of coverage that
was racist or harmful to communities of color also apologize? How can
newsrooms work to ensure their newsrooms, including their leadership, are
diverse? Should the demographics of a newsroom match those of the community
it serves? How might more representative demographics affect coverage?

*Idea: *Have students annotate this editorial, underlining anything they
find particularly notable and highlighting sections that raise questions.

Times’ editorial board

.

*Another idea: *Have students examine historical coverage by their own
local newspaper (or another local outlet) and decide whether they believe a
similar self-examination and apology are warranted. After confirming no
such piece or series has already been published, contact newsroom leaders
to make the case for one to run in the future.

Let me disclose up front that I am a Maria Ressa superfan. Ressa, the CEO
and executive editor of Rappler, an independent news website in the
Philippines, has been in the crosshairs of the Rodrigo Duterte
administration. She was convicted of cyber libel — a ruling viewed as a
politically-motivated effort to curtail journalism — and faces possible
imprisonment. Still, Ressa continues to be a brave, tireless crusader for
democracy and the truth, and serves as a worldwide symbol of press
freedoms. This article details Ressa’s views about Facebook and the need
for the company to do more to combat falsehoods, while also touching on her
approach toward embracing her fear.
