Booklist, April 1, 2023

This resource, part of the Questions Explored series (5 titles), explores the rise of the phenomenon known as “fake news” and offers readers tools to navigate the murky waters of misinformation. An “At a Glance” bulleted list gives readers a quick overview of the book’s main points before segueing into a narrative story about a student frustrated by trying to locate credible sources for a report. Four chapters follow that examine what exactly a fake news story is, how these stories affect our society and people today, and how to deal with misinformation. The book also explores different mediums where media consumers can find fake news easily (websites, television, social media), offering tips on how to distance oneself from biased or unreliable content. A solid choice for improving media literacy.
