VRAI OU FAUX? AIDONS L’UNIVERSITÉ YORK À REPÉRER LES FAUSSES NOUVELLES

Préoccupées par la prolifération des fausses nouvelles, les bibliothèques de l’Université York ont mis au point des programmes visant à habiliter les gens à réfléchir de façon critique aux nouvelles qu’ils rencontrent. Les panélistes partageront leur expérience sur la création d’un Fake News LibGuide, d’expositions de livres thématiques, d’une campagne sur les médias sociaux, d’une discussion en groupe et d’ateliers d’éducation aux médias.
