Since the 2016 presidential election, the term fake news has become part of the national discourse. In this book, leading civic education scholars unpack why fake news is effective and show K-12 educators how they can teach their students to be critical consumers of the political media they encounter.
Wayne Journell is associate professor and secondary education program coordinator at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He currently serves as editor of Theory & Research in Social Education and is a past recipient of the Exemplary Research in Social Studies Award from the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS).
"Timely, provocative, and eminently readable...Journell realized that he could bring important perspectives together in one place, and the result is this book. As a knowledgeable reader, I have had the opportunity to analyze, criticize, and admire what he and his collaborators have produced. Whether a novice or an expert, you too are likely to be stimulated by what this book offers." --Teachers College Record
