Great Infographic for students to define many of the terms associated with Fake News

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The work needed to effectively filter information in our media-saturated environment takes time and skill. A study showed that the more content we consume, the more our ability to make decisions about its veracity becomes impaired. With 80% of Europeans now regularly going online, it is vital for the sustainable and effective functioning of democracy for citizens to be able to curate their media diets with a healthy critical eye.

Our Beyond Fake News infographic identifies the 10 types of potentially misleading news. It was created to be used in class with real-world examples to spark classroom debate and reflection on the ways that media is constructed.

We hesitated to put the term 'fake news' in the title of the infographic as, ironically, the term itself is a misleading simplification. Apart from the fact that the term has been co-opted to attack and silence mainstream media, the suggestion that there are simply two types of news; real and fake, doesn't leave much room for nuance.

Below this article, you will find a pdf version of the infographic as well as a dropdown list containing some resources for teaching the 10 Types of Misleading News.
The 10 types
Of course, neither of the 10 types can be seen in isolation to the others. Partisan news outlets may also be identified as propaganda . And propaganda can be found in a sponsored post . Pseudoscience and conspiracy theories certainly enjoy each others company, see: anti-vaccination movement and climate change denialism . Likewise, completely bogus content may entice its audience with a clickbait headline. Finding examples and identifying which categories they fit into is all part of the fun of using this graphic.
The motivations Impact levels Some help, please!
We will endeavour to find resources with which to use and compare with the infographic but we would love it you would suggest your own to us. Especially in languages other than English.

We would also love to hear your testimonials. Let us know of any successes you have had when using it, or if you think of any ways the graphic can be improved.
Translations
If you are able to translate the infographic into your mother tongue then you are an awesome person! We will credit you, of course. Contact us at [email protected] or reach out to us via our social media channels for more details .
With thanks...
We must also thank EAVI's individual members for their feedback as well as Katerina Chryssanthopoulou of the newly-formed Media Literacy Institute in Greece for her input and ideas while creating the graphic.

The growing stream of reporting on and data about fake news, misinformation, partisan content, and news literacy is hard to keep up with. This weekly roundup offers the highlights of what you might have missed.

Two reports this week from Knight - one on Americans' concerns about media bias, the other on misinformation. One thing that stands out from the latter report is that Americans believe a staggeringly large percentage of the news they see is "misinformation": "On average, Americans estimate that 39 percent of the news they see on television, read in newspapers or hear on the radio is misinformation. They believe nearly two-thirds of the news they see on social media - 65 percent - is made up or cannot be verified as accurate. (Gallup/Knight defined misinformation as "stories that are made up or cannot be verified as accurate but are presented to readers as if they are accurate.")

These averages are driven by people who identify as Republicans or conservatives:

In addition, "[College graduates] estimate far less misinformation on television, on the radio and in newspapers than do those with a high school education or less (29% vs. 43%)."

This finding echoes other recent research.

Knight also calculated "net bias" scores for news organizations: "the percentage who see each as 'not biased at all' or 'not very biased' minus the percentage who see each as 'extremely biased' or 'very biased.' On this measure, positive scores indicate that more people consider the news source unbiased than biased, and negative scores mean more people consider it biased than unbiased. Here's the overall:

But check out the differences between Democrats (left) and Republicans (right):

"Democrats, including Democratic-leaning independents, tend to see most news organizations as unbiased, except for Fox News, Breitbart News, Mother Jones, the Huffington Post, and Vox," the authors write. "Republicans, including Republican-leaning independents, tend to see all news organizations as biased. The two exceptions are Fox
News and The Wall Street Journal."

I'm wondering a bit about Knight's definition of "bias," which is "news organizations reporting stories in a way that unfairly favors one person or group over another, even if the facts reported are accurate." Like, how does unfairness play into people's rankings here, versus thinking that the sites are actually reporting inaccurate information? How much do people's memories of Huffington Post as led by Arianna Huffington carry over? What's with the Vox rankings, and how many of the respondents here actually know what Vox is? (Earlier in the report, the authors note, "The
internet-only sites Breitbart News, the Huffington Post and Vox, get lower accuracy ratings, but to a large degree, that reflects lower familiarity with them.")

The reports surveyed 1,440 people from the Gallup Panel of U.S. adults; it's part of broader Knight research on Americans' views of the media, and that research will continue through July.

Facebook's blog post is here and Poynter's writeup of Facebook product manager Tessa Lyons speaking at its Global Fact-Checking Summit this week in Rome about some of the changes is here. For instance:

Lyons announced that Facebook will start taking more aggressive actions against pages that consistently share misinformation. The company already reduces their distribution and removes their ability to advertise and monetize - but now it will use machine learning to predict pages that are likely to spread financially motivated misinformation based on similar pages fact-checkers have already identified.
