As misinformation spreads, journalists face the challenge of correcting misperceptions.
But how?

We tested whether a straightforward fact-checking style or a more empathetic approach would be more effective in broadcast news.

Read the results here:
Fact-Checking Approaches in Broadcast News - Center for Media Engagement
The Center for Media Engagement set out to test two approaches in broadcast news: a more traditional just-the-facts style that lays out the corrections and a more empathetic style that walks viewers through the discovery of why the misperception is wrong.

As AI plays an increasingly important role in our lives, a new survey by @powerswitchaction.org shines a light on the experiences of Uber drivers. The results paint a bleak picture of what it’s like when AI decides your pay, outlining what’s at stake for all working people if we don’t take action.

When someone says "technology broke people's relationship to nature," which technology do you blame? Apparently, I'm a weirdo for thinking "air conditioning" is the right answer. Le sigh.
