Hi all
The first stage in the campaign to introduce WP as part of the fact-checking curriculum in
primary and secondary schools i n Australia was launched last week with the publication of
the following article.
The title (chosen by eds not us) is a bit 'off' as we are talking about lateral
reading and quick fact-checking not research (though arguably these notions are
intertwined) but it has been useful in terms of generating debate and attention, which I
guess was the goal.
cheers,
Mathieu

At a time when it’s increasingly difficult to separate truth from falsehood, Wikipedia is
an accessible tool for fact-checking and fighting misinformation.
