What Do We Mean by “Fake News?”
INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.
Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed David Dozier.
On a recent Price of Business show, Host Kevin Price visited with Dr. David Dozier as part of a new series on being better consumers of the news.
Misinformation? Disinformation? “Fake news?” These terms are tossed about in our hyper-charged partisan political ecosystem. But what do these terms really mean? In this segment, we clarify meanings and put them in context. We also address why the credibility of the information we receive is critical to our roles as citizens in a democracy. Listeners can look forward to coming episodes. We will discuss how to locate and use original sources of information, how to distinguish news from analysis and commentary, how to triangulate on the news through multiple sources, and what it means to be media literate in the 21st Century. Dr. David Dozier (www.DavidDozierBooks.com) is the author of The California Killing Field and professor emeritus in the School of Journalism & Media Studies at San Diego State University.
