Trust of information is critical for societies and governments to function and for communities and cultures to cohere. Such trust only grows more crucial amid today's widespread manipulation of mediated information and the deterioration of agreement over trustworthy sources. This course will arm you with the knowledge to analyze and refute or disseminate information effectively in this post-truth world. You will learn to detect misinformation and disinformation, disarm fake news, and cut through deception. You will also learn to create and share quality information using multimodal practices designed to leverage attention and gain trust across networked audiences and information cultures.
