Fake News and Propaganda

November 1, 2019
Grades 6-9 These titles in the Dilemmas in Democracy series (6 titles) examine political and societal problems right out of today's headlines. By offering comprehensive coverage, the books give students the chance to see the issues from different perspectives as well as in a historical context. Fake News and Propaganda hits hard at a topic that is in the news every day. It discusses the differences between marketing, propaganda, and fake news and takes a deep and necessary dive into modern-day accusations of fake news and how to spot it. Although not all the photographs seem relevant, this series is well designed, containing a wealth of useful information for students to ponder, discuss, and debate.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
