Limited Capacity filling up

Citizens in a democracy make choices about policies they support or oppose. They depend upon information to make those decisions. But how do we know if that information is true? In this session, we will examine examples of what is being called "fake news" and learn where it is coming from. We will also learn several skills that help us know if something is "fake" or actual news by working with actual examples. Please bring a device to this session!
