Title: Fake news and education for enlightened citizenry

Abstract: The Fake News' topic is interesting because it is new and it is old at the same time. If we want to define "fake news" we cannot give it a unique meaning. Someone frames fake news only in the social media area, some others extend the meaning to newspapers, someone else to any kind of mass media (TV, Books, Radio, etc.). But it is sure that our students don't know how to detect them and how to fight them. The extent of perceived realism of fake news depends also on the extent of hard-news exposure, with the result that individuals exposed to both hard and fake news find fake-news messages less realistic. So we also need to teach our students how become hard-news reader in order to know and detect fake news. In this article we see the "status" of the Fake News problem, how some national and international laws are going on, and some exercises that we can do with our students in order to be "more democratic".

Title: Fake news ed educazione per una cittadinanza illuminata

Abstract: L'argomento Fake News è interessante perché è nuovo e vecchio allo stesso tempo. Potremmo tentare di definire il termine "Fake News" senza però dargli un significato unico. Qualcuno infatti incornicia le Fake News solo nel settore dei social media, altri estendono il significato anche ai giornali, qualcun altro a qualsiasi tipo di mass media (TV, libri, radio, ecc.). È sicuro però che i nostri studenti non sanno né come rilevarle né come combatterle. L'entità del realismo percepito delle Fake News dipende anche dal grado di esposizione dei fruitori alle hard-news, infatti gli individui esposti sia alle Hard che alle Soft news trovano i messaggi delle Fake News meno realistiche. Perciò abbiamo anche bisogno di insegnare ai nostri studenti come diventare lettori critici delle news in generale, al fine di conoscere e rilevare le notizie false. In questo articolo presentiamo lo "status" del problema delle Fake News, come alcune leggi nazionali e internazionali siano in corso, e alcuni esercizi che possiamo fare con i nostri studenti al fine di diventare "più democratici".

Title: Fausses nouvelles et éducation pour les citoyens éclairés

Abstract: Le sujet des fausses nouvelles est intéressant car il est nouveau et il est vieux en même temps.Si nous voulons définir les «fausses nouvelles», nous ne pouvons pas lui donner un sens unique.Quelqu'un encadre les fausses nouvelles uniquement dans la zone des médias sociaux, d'autres étendent le sens aux journaux, quelqu'un d'autre à tout type de médias de masse (télévision, livres, radio, etc.).Mais il est sûr que nos élèves ne savent pas comment les détecter et comment les combattre.L'étendue du réalisme perçu des fausses nouvelles dépend également de l'étendue de l'exposition aux nouvelles durs, avec le résultat que les individus exposés aux nouvelles dures et fausses trouvent des messages faux-neuf moins réalistes.Nous devons donc également enseigner à nos élèves comment devenir lecteur-news pour connaître et détecter les fausses nouvelles.Dans cet article, nous voyons le «statut» du faux problème de nouvelles, comment certaines lois nationales et internationales se déroulent et certains exercices que nous pouvons faire avec nos étudiants afin d'être «plus démocratiques».
