  • The Smell Test
    The following chapter was provided by John McManus and describes The SMELL Test, “a way to distinguish ethical journalism from propaganda, fake news and junk journalism.” The chapter comes from his recent book, Detecting Bull: How to Identify Bias and Junk Journalism in Print, Broadcast and on the 8 Wild Web, and includes several classroom activities The SMELL Test Everybody is sitting around saying, 'Well, jeez, we need somebody to solve this problem of bias.' That somebody is us. ~ Wilma Mankiller, late Cherokee leader Some fake news is obviously ridiculous. Take a gander at this image from a website called Worldnewsdailyreport.com. “It tastes like heaven!” simply puts [sic] Rakim Shaheed, newly employed at a downtown Toronto butcher shop. “I took one bite of a club sandwich my boss prepared for me and I almost fell off my chair,” he told local reporters. “It was like a burst of flavor hit my taste buds and shook me like an earthquake” he recalls, visibly still emotional. “I can’t believe no one ever told me it was so good,” he adds.1 But other fabricated articles have fooled many citizens, been shared widely on social media and perhaps changed been shared widely on social media and perhaps changed the outcome of national elections.2 The simplest way to discover if a news article is misleading or fake is to check it out on a legitimate fact-checking website, such as Snopes.com, Poltifact.com, or Factcheck.org. However, these sites only examine the most popular frauds, and rarely as soon as they appear.

Signature: ……………………………………… 3 University of Sussex Natalie Francesca Wright Doctorate of Philosophy Pragmatic Criticism: Women and Femininity in the Inauguration of Academic English Studies in the U.K., 1900-1950 This project looks at how gender operates in literary-critical values during the formation of U.K. English departments in the early twentieth century through the lives and work of three pioneering women scholars: Edith Morley, Caroline Spurgeon, and Q. D. Leavis. It argues that academic literary studies inculcated masculine critical rhetoric into the discipline, revolving around the conceptual pillars of stoicism, seriousness, and hard work, and that this rhetoric had a material impact on early women scholars.

Since then it has become the leading American research and teaching institution in Greece, and indeed it is the largest of all the American overseas research centers. Today, the School pursues a multifaceted mission to advance knowledge of Greece from antiquity to the present day, including its connections with other areas of the ancient and early modern world, by train- ing young scholars, conducting and promoting archaeological fieldwork, providing resources for scholarly work, and disseminating research. The ASCSA is also charged by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports with primary responsibility for all American archaeological research, and is actively engaged in supporting the investigation, preservation, and presentation of Greece’s cultural heritage.
