For this reflection, I want you to listen to the following podcast from NPR: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2016/12/02/504155809/episode-739-finding-the-fake-news-king (Enlaces a un sitio externo.) (or, you can read it here: https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=504155809) (Enlaces a un sitio externo.). Then, think about the following questions / respond to a couple of them in paragraph form (not essay form--by paragraph form, I mean answer each one in a different paragraph with enough detail to explain what you mean).
Questions:
1. What did you know about fake news going into this podcast? How has that knowledge changed?
2. What surprised you from the podcast?
3. What does this podcast illustrate about your own searching / reading choices?
4. Have you ever read something online and posted it, only to find out later that it was fake? What was your response / thought? 5. How might this story have inspired people to take negative actions?
6. Why should we be careful when reading / posting / spreading fake news?
