Fake News: Can you spot it?

June 9, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Over the last 4 years, fake news has become an everyday expression, and a major part of what we see and read online. With Covid-19, we have seen the spread of misinformation and fake news intensify, posing unique challenges and dangers to our wellbeing and life.

In this talk I will show you how misinformation has changed in recent times, and the impact it’s having on our wellbeing, work and family life. You’ll learn the most effective strategies for spotting fake from real and trustworthy content, how to fact check content that you think might be dodgy, how to minimise the effect of misinformation and fake news and have more control over your technology use.
