Millennium Fellowship Project: Fighting Fake News
In the modern world, with advancing technological innovations and increased accessibility to media platforms, the options for seeking necessary sources have grown proportionally. However, it is extremely challenging to identify sources that are valid, relevant, and, most importantly, truthful. Our project, titled Fighting Fake News and Disinformation, aims to equip high school students with the necessary skills to detect fake information, identify credible sources, and advocate for just and fair political institutions, particularly during election periods.
