[kictanet] How to Fight "Fake News"

[Joash Moitui]

Dear Listeners,

Researchers have spent decades trying to understand how such misinformation (fake news) spreads and, now, a review of their work offers new guidance for the journalists, fact-checkers and others working to find, and defend, the truth.

In a report published last week <http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0956797617714579> in Psychological Science, a team of academics reviewed two decades of research to better understand how to effectively debunk misinformation. In the end, they found eight worthwhile studies, with more than 6,800 participants.
