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
