In lecture during Week 5, we played the Bad News Game. (If you missed it or need a refresher, you can play it here: https://www.getbadnews.com/books/english/introLinks to an external site.) For this prompt, reflect on your experience with the Bad News Game by doing the following:
Pick one of the 6 techniques of fake news discussed in the game. (The techniques are also called “badges” in the game. Each technique is defined at the end of its round, or they are all listed on the yellow screen at the very end.) Explain what this technique means in your own words.
What does the technique have to do with fake news? Cite lecture in defining fake news.
Given your experience with the Bad News Game and with fake news, disinformation, and misinformation in your own life, would reinstating the Fairness Doctrine help fix this problem? If so, explain how. If not, explain what might help and why. Define the Fairness Doctrine in your answer by citing lecture.
