Misinformation! What Can We Do About It?
b"Alexandra, Noelle and Jen discuss the phenomenon of selective perception and how it causes social media users to not only believe faulty information but to also spread it. Using this week\\u2019s readings by Spies as a springboard, as well as the video on Selective Perception and a blog post by Harvard's Program on Negotiation, the trio explores the difference between misinformation and disinformation, selective perception and how it relates to echo chamber effects, the inconclusive research currently out there regarding how and why misinformation spreads and finally, what educators and even private citizens can do to stop the spread without entirely jeopardizing the public\\u2019s faith in the media."
