Hi everyone,

Dami and I are really looking forward to this Thursday's webinar on social media and fake news. It should be a great session. If you have access to Netflix, please do watch the documentary The Social Dilemma - I'd be very interested to hear what you think. 

There are a couple of readings for this week. Please make sure you read them. The webinar will give you an opportunity to discuss the article by Richard Freed - The Tech Industry's War on Kids. But I also hope we will have the chance to discuss the book chapter by Carl  Bergstrom (attached). 

I have added a folder on QM+ with examples of the blogpost. We will also spend a bit of time going through your second assessment - the Factcheck. 

For your breakout activity this week, you will fact check a news story. The newspaper story is here: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/bacon-gives-kids-cancer-374055   

And the peer-reviewed article on which it is based is here: 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2653540/ 

You will be asked to assess whether the news story accurately reports the research.

Look forward to seeing you all on Thursday.

Andrew
