The author's experience as a CIA intelligence analyst fully informs this book on how to discern news that is true or fake, or at least determine its credibility. She lays out the history of fake news, from Ancient Egypt to the 2016 presidential election. In the latter part of the book she outlines techniques on how to analyze a social media post or news report. It includes examples for readers to exercise their thinking and provides an answer guide. The book is eminently accessible and readable with the informal yet informative mien of a favorite teacher. I consider myself a decently critical thinker but I learned how to be even more effective. Thank you for this book! Written for an audience of 13-18 yr olds by a CIA analyst, and it couldn't be a more timely book. Part One provides historical examples of "fake news" or manipulated stories/reports (from ancient history onward), and explores the terminology in this field. Sec 3 of this Part One addresses what happens when the world "went digital" and includes ch 12: "Fake News Goes Viral" and ch 13: "Fake News Takes Over Elections". Part Two is entitled "How We Fight Back!" and explores facts vs opinions, bias, how to detect fake news articles, how to detect fake images (much needed addition to our media literacy instruction), how to detect fake statistics, memes and other social media tips. Myriad of examples offered, with images, and even mini -quizzes (How good are you at detecting questionable social media sources, images, etc). My only complaint: the images/examples are all in black & white or greyscale and makes for difficult viewing. Publisher cheaped out? Re-think this !! sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

"Fake news" is a term you've probably heard a lot in the last few years, but it's not a new phenomenon. From the ancient Egyptians to the French Revolution to Jack the Ripper and the founding fathers, fake news has been around as long as human civilization. But that doesn't mean that we should just give up on the idea of finding the truth. In True or False, former CIA analyst Cindy Otis takes listeners through the history and impact of misinformation over the centuries, sharing stories from the past and insights that listeners today can gain from them. Then, she shares lessons learned in over a decade working for the CIA, including actionable tips on how to spot fake news, how to make sense of the information we receive each day, and, perhaps most importantly, how to understand and see past our own information biases so that we can think critically about important issues and put events happening around us into context.
