《柯林斯英語詞典》(Collins Dictionary) 不久前才剛揭曉2017年度熱詞，不出所料，「假新聞」這個詞榮登寶座！任何有網路的人都能隨時隨地製造或傳播消息，所以在「後真相時代」，讓我們來學學該怎麼揪出假新聞和培養批判性思考吧！最直接的方法就是問自己五個關鍵問題：什麼「人」在什麼「地方」做什麼樣的「事」還有「為什麼」？這是我們在上「媒體素養和提昇英文能力」線上課程中學到的小撇步。上個月美國石溪大學新聞學院的史蒂芬‧雷納 (Steven Reiner) 副教授在一場活動中也提醒我們：身處數位時代的「我們」有責任分辨什麼可信，什麼不可信。
別忘了你可以繼續透過「媒體素養和提昇英文能力」線上課程動動大腦多思考，也歡迎留言與我們分享你的上課心得喔！歡迎在留言標註你的朋友！如果你還沒有加入這個線上課程，為時不晚，快來加入吧！https://www.ait.org.tw/mooc/ #MediaLiteracy #StopFakeNews
CollinsDictionary.com just announced the Word of the Year for 2017 and not surprisingly, “Fake News” won the title. Everyone with access to the Internet can be a news producer, so how do we spot fake news and think critically in the “post-truth era”? One way is to ask yourself the five key questions: Who-What-When-Where-Why (In English, we call these the five Ws.). This is one of the things people taking the “English for Media Literacy” MOOC course on analyzing media messages learned. As Stony Brook University Professor Steven Reiner said during a Digital Video Conference with Taiwan last month, “In the digital age, YOU are in charge of determining what is reliable… and what is not!”
