A media literacy workshop in Plovdiv
Forty students from three high schools spent two days fact-checking stories they had already shared. Half of them did not survive the check.
How it went
We started with a simple exercise: everyone took out their phone and found the last news story they had forwarded to someone.
- check the source
- check the date
- check the picture
Half of the stories failed all three checks.
The second day was about the tools — reverse image search, page archives, company registers.
