This book is an essential tool in helping students to be more consciously aware, reflective, and rational about the waves of news and other forms of angertainment. I lost count of how many times I said, 'Yes!' while reading this book. -- Kelly Gallagher * Teacher, Author, and Consultant * Fighting Fake News is a must read for every teacher. I plan to read it and reread because I know each time, I will be able to glean better information. I would love to have the opportunity to see this kind of instruction be put in to place. -- Lydia Bagley * Instructional Support Specialist * Talk about timely! Fighting Fake News begins by describing the cognitive short-cuts we all (not just the fringe) are prone to-how we so easily fit information to pre-existing biases. The authors show how digital media exploit this tendency by directing us to sources that feed these prejudices. And they provide carefully crafted lessons to promote critical analysis and thoughtful citizenship. It's the book we need now. -- Thomas Newkirk * Professor Emeritus at the University of New Hampshire * Author InformationA classroom teacher for fifteen years, ?Jeffrey D.
