Misinformation. Disinformation. AI-generated content. Rumors, hoaxes, lies, and propaganda. It’s easier than ever to spread both fact and fiction, thanks to the constant evolution of media and technology. So, how do we know what to believe? What strategies can we use to navigate the media landscape and learn about what is happening in the world around us? By studying how and why people react to and spread misinformation and by critically analyzing both legacy and emerging media communication technologies and practices, students will strengthen media and information literacy skills that they need to be savvy and well-informed citizens. Students will also examine their own relationship with the internet, social media, and information, and develop skills to be more intentional about their online behavior.
