Module 2 Fake news

• Fake news has recently drawn a lot of attention in the media. 
• It naturally links to the key concept of representation, which has always been at the very core of media literacy teaching. 
• Because indeed, just like traditional newspapers, radio or television, digital media do not offer a transparent window on the world, but rather a mediated version. 
• They don’t just present reality, they re-present it. 
• Even when it is concerned with real-life events, they invite us to see the world in some particular ways and not others. 
• In that sense, they are bound to be “biased” rather than “objective.”
