Fake news. The two words basically juxtapose one another, yet the concept is very real. Today, fake news is everywhere and finding the truth is often easier said than done.
Host Tiffany Sumner and Fox Management Information Systems Professor Sunil Wattal discuss the rise of fake news in the wake of the 2016 presidential election. According to Wattal, a number of factors prevent us from deciphering what’s real and what’s not. We all have implicit biases that affect our understanding and decision making. Several platforms like Facebook, Google and Twitter have made efforts to minimize the prevalence of fake news, but it’s still ultimately up to us to prevent its spread.
So, what classifies something as fake news? What’s behind the rise of misinformation? Most importantly, how can we stop its spread? Join Wattal as he discusses all the above in the latest episode of Catalyst.
