Identifying and Combatting Fake News
Course Description
Overview
Building and maintaining trust is essential to attracting and retaining customers. What the public sees and hears about you is crucial to building that trust. That is why the emergence of ‘fake news’ is so unsettling to businesses and individuals dependent on public trust to grow, prosper and ultimately do their jobs.What can be done in a society where it seems everyone is a reporter, judge, and critic and a piece of fiction can be created, branded as truth and shared around the world in the blink of an eye?
This course will highlight the essentials of fake news: spotting it, coping with it, and growing from it, turning a potential crisis into opportunities for promotion and connection.

- Next, you will learn about the evolution of media, how technology has changed information sources into a superspeed highway demanding more: more readers, more revenue, and more interesting stories in a shorter amount of time, which has led to a growth in ‘fake news’.
