Yoop is an app meant to counteract selective exposure and the spread of fake news, by crowdsourcing the identification of fake news. My research, in essence, looks at the communication and a number of behavioural characteristics of UK politicians. It focuses on how these characteristics are linked to their perceived use of lies and spin. Our projects, therefore, both china rcs data have a political dimension and address the question of what is fake.
With this shared interest in mind and a call for submissions coming up, we decided to collaborate. The All-Parliamentary Group on Literacy, and more specifically the Commission on Fake News and the Teaching of Critical Literacy Skills, had earlier made a call for submissions of evidence, on the topic of “How to foster critical literacy and tackle the problem of fake news”. With just a few weeks to spare, we decided to do just that: to submit evidence.
After all, this would provide an opportunity for us to share our research findings and knowledge and to eventually, and hopefully, inform policy. Thus, after a few short weeks of writing and editing, we submitted a report. from recent literature on critical literacy and empirically collected data by Yoop on how younger generations use information.
