Abstract
ABSTRACT The rampant spread of misinformation has made it more difficult for many people, especially college students, to ascertain what is a viable and reliable piece of information and vice versa. This trend makes it even more difficult for them to produce effective essays and research papers in their courses. Librarians at Indian River State College (IRSC) have been piloting a program that incorporates news literacy into the learning management system utilized by IRSC in an effort to increase students’ ability to determine what are correct information, erroneous information, and “fake news.”
