Re: Complain about other websites

[(Anonymous)]

Misinformation anywhere is horrible. For me, it's Facebook, and I stay on mostly to see what kind of media my friends/family/acquaintances consume. I'm self training in media analytics right now and hope to become an educator in boosting media literacy (tackling things such as avoiding clickbait headlines, funding research for various media outlets, how to gauge bias, etc.). I spend a good a mount of time correcting people on Facebook, and I somehow managed to get my mom on board in double-checking viral news bits. I'm actually kind of proud of that last one but know if I want to be even halfway effective at boosting media literacy I have to work harder. Facebook's enabling of spreading bad information is annoying but also a bit of a "Challenge accepted!" situation. It's strange.

The fact that people like you exist makes me happy.

We need more people to actually question what they're reading instead of accepting every headline that pops up as fact.

Good for you! Do you have any resources that I can recommend to other people? This is an important issue for me, but I don't really know where to begin.

Snopes.com is one I tend to use a lot for urban legend types of posts. Their articles often include footnotes and the sources they used, so anyone who gets the link has the opportunity to read things for themselves. For US politics, Project Vote Smart is a great place to get speech transcripts and voting records of politicians. (During election cycles they also have Vote Easy tools.) Data journalism sites like the Five Thirty Eight and Vox.com can be useful, but they are still fairly new (which means some additional Googling might help bolster your point). When it comes to state/local issues, I actually found a more local online news site by getting on a community mailing list, so if there are political groups that meet in your area, go to a meeting (or more, if you end up liking it) and get on the mailing list. If I'm in a rush, I'll consult Wikipedia and check out the links in the citations section. It's how I found an article on the push to make growing hemp a legal activity. The real issue is dealing with other agricultural lobbyists that will try to block these efforts and the bureaucratic headache that's going to come up in transitioning hemp legalization from the DEA to the USDA.
