CPEC 208 - Media Literacy: Fake News, Real News, Democracy and You (4 Cr.) (GCR Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies area)
For a democracy to function, citizens need trustworthy, reliable, accurate information. But we are now living in a nation where that is getting harder to find. Where can you go in this vast media universe for reliable information? How do you evaluate information you find at places like Facebook, twitter, Instagram, InfoWars, The Drudge Report, the New York Times or The BBC? This course is designed to help students develop personal strategies to differentiate and evaluate the many sources of news and information in our fragmented, digital lives. Students are limited to one CPE course per semester. Zurawik.
