Journalism, ‘Fake News’ & Disinformation Handbook for Journalism Education and Training Cherilyn Ireton and Julie Posetti .-- Cherilyn Ireton and Julie Posetti .-- UNESCO 2018 .-- 128 p. .-- (Journalism Education).

To serve as a model curriculum, this handbook is designed to give journalism educators and trainers, along with students of journalism, a framework and lessons to help navigate the issues associated with ‘fake news’. We also hope that it will be a useful guide for practising journalists. It draws together the input of leading international journalism educators, researchers and thinkers who are helping to update journalism method and practice to deal with the challenges of misinformation and disinformation. The lessons are contextual, theoretical and in the case of online verification, extremely practical. Used together as a course, or independently, they can help refresh existing teaching modules or create new offerings. A suggestion of How to use this handbook as a model curriculum follows this introduction
