  • The Ultimate Cure for the Fake News Epidemic Will Be More Skeptical Readers
    BEHAVIOR & SOCIETY The Ultimate Cure for the Fake News Epidemic Will Be More Skeptical Readers New algorithms will help—but users' skepticism is the ultimate weapon By David Pogue on February 1, 2017 Credit: Thomas Fuchs “Pope Francis Shocks World, Endorses Donald Trump for President.” “FBI Agent Suspected in Hillary Email Leaks Found Dead of Apparent Murder-Suicide.” “Rush Reveals Michelle's Perverted Past After She Dumps on Trump.” Those headlines didn't come from the New York Times or CNN; they were likely written by teenagers in Macedonia. Those fake news stories were written as clickbait, designed to draw readers to fake-news sites, where the Balkan teens made money by selling ads. If last fall's election will go down in history as the Election of Unintended Consequences, those fake stories are no exception. They wound up circulating copiously on Twitter and Facebook; on the latter, the top-20 fake stories actually triggered more clicks than the top-20 real ones. Fake news became fodder for ugly partisan warfare online, too. Worst of all, it might have affected the presidential election results. Remember, 44 percent of U.S. adults get their news from Facebook. You wouldn't think that fake news would be controversial. Surely we all agree that something as important as a presidential election should be based on truth. Can't we just ask Facebook and Twitter to block fake news? We can, but they can't. The problem isn't technological—it's philosophical. “Identifying the ‘truth’ is complicated,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in response to the phenomenon of fake news.

Pavlik, Ph.D And approved by ___Michael Schudson, Ph.D.___ ____Jack Bratich, Ph.D.______ ____Susan Keith, Ph.D.______ ______________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey MAY 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Political Satire and Political News: Entertaining, Accidentally Reporting or Both? The Case of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (TDS) by ELENA-DANIELA (DANA) NEACSU Dissertation Director: John V. Pavlik, Ph.D. For the last decade, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (TDS ), a (Comedy Central) cable comedy show, has been increasingly seen as an informative, new, even revolutionary, form of journalism. A substantial body of literature appeared, adopting this view. On closer inspection, it became clear that this view was tenable only in specific circumstances. It assumed that the comedic structure of the show, TDS ’ primary text, promoted cognitive polysemy, a textual ambiguity which encouraged critical inquiry, and that TDS ’ audiences perceived it accordingly. As a result I analyzed, through a dual - encoding/decoding - analytical approach, whether TDS ’ comedic discourse educates and informs its audiences in a ii manner which encourages independent or critical reading of the news. Through a multilayered textual analysis of the primary and tertiary texts of the show, the research presented here asked, “How does TDS ’ comedic narrative (primary text) work as a vehicle of televised political news?” and “How does TDS ’ audience decode its text?” The research identified flaws in the existing literature and the limits inherent to any similar endeavors.

  • What Will Change Look Like in White House Décor?
    What Will Change Look Like in White House Décor? EVER since Mary Todd Lincoln overshot the White House decorating budget by $6,700 (a third of her $20,000 appropriation), infuriating her husband and delighting a press corps that had already turned against her, the redecoration of the president’s house has been a public relations minefield. Some new administrations tiptoe through it unscathed; others are less nimble, and bombs explode. White House Historical Association Richard Nixon's blue and gold Oval Office was considered a tad imperial; left, the Nixon family at dinner in the President's Dining Room. More Photos » Multimedia SLIDESHOW Stephen Crowley/The New York Times MOVING DAY There are roughly five hours in between the time the sitting president leaves the White House and the incoming president and his family enter their new quarters; above, a moving truck at the ready for the Clintons, Jan. 19, 2001. More Photos > “It’s an old maxim that you can build a billion-dollar highway that’s the biggest pork barrel in the world and no one will say anything,” said William Seale, a White House historian, “but if you’re in public office and you try and change your desk, you’re going to end up on the front page. In presidential décor, one must remember the public eye is fixed on everything you do.” Barack Obama’s transition team has not responded to inquiries about his interior design plans, so one can only speculate about how the Obamas will make their stylistic mark on the White House.

  • Fake News and What We Can Do About It
    THE CURRENT EVENTS CLASSROOM FAKE NEWS AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT There has been a lot of talk lately about “fake news” because it has been particularly prevalent during the recent 2016 Presidential election campaign. According to a recent Pew Research Center study, 62% of Americans get their news from social media sites and 44% get their news specifically from Facebook. Nearly 90% of millennials regularly get news from Facebook. In addition, a recent study from Stanford University revealed that many teens have difficulty analyzing the news; 82% of middle school students surveyed couldn’t tell the difference between an ad labeled “sponsored content” and a legitimate news story. This lesson provides an opportunity for students to learn what fake news is, differentiate it from other types of news (including satirical, misleading and tabloid news), develop strategies for spotting fake news and consider what can be done about the proliferation of fake news. See these additional ADL resources: Current Events Classroom lessons “Outsmarting Propaganda: Combatting the Lure of Extremist Recruitment Strategies” and “Let's Talk about the Presidential Election,” Helping Students Make Sense of News Stories About Bias and Injustice and Let's Talk Politics: Bias, Dialogue and Critical Thinking. Grade Level: grades 9-12 Time: 45 minutes Common Core Anchor Standards: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening Learning Objectives: Students will reflect on their own experiences with and preferences of their news sources. Students will understand what “fake news” is and identify strategies for differentiating real and fake news. Students will explore what can be done to be better consumers of news and what else they can do for their school, community and society about fake news.

  • Effects of Content and Source Cues of Online Satirical News on Perceived Believability
    Effects of Content and Source Cues of Online Satirical News on Perceived Believability A thesis presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science Nisha Vilas Garud August 2015 © 2015 Nisha Vilas Garud. All Rights Reserved. This thesis titled Effects of Content and Source Cues of Online Satirical News on Perceived Believability by NISHA VILAS GARUD has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Yusuf Kalyango, Jr. Associate Professor of Journalism Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT GARUD, NISHA VILAS, M.S., August 2015, Journalism Effects of Content and Source Cues of Online Satirical News on Perceived Believability Director of Thesis: Yusuf Kalyango, Jr. Satirical news from websites such as onion.com have attracted news consumers into believing these stories as real. Hence, it is imperative to investigate the factors that attract news consumers into believing satirical news as true. This thesis examines content and source cues for levels of satire and source reputability to investigate their effects on perceived believability of satirical news across genres. In experiment one, 80 participants viewed manipulated news stories measured as high and low on satire, while in experiment two, 64 participants viewed manipulated satirical stories with high-reputable and low-reputable sources from entertainment and science genres. Results show perceived believability is different across news genres. Satire in science stories is not easily perceived as high-satire science news is perceived more believable than high-satire entertainment news.
