Faith and Fake News  : A Guide to Consuming Information Wisely  
by Rachel I. Wightman (Wm. B. Eerdmans Co. Publishing)

As online spaces increase in importance, we urgently need to consider how to love our neighbors on the internet. In Faith and Fake News, Rachel Wightman shares her expertise as a librarian and educator, instructing students in information literacy. This timely and essential guide explains the information landscape and its tendency toward thought bubbles, discusses techniques for fact-checking and evaluating sources, and offers suggestions on ways to engage with our neighbors online while bearing witness to Christ and the truth. 

The book can be multi-purposeful. As a Christian, discernment. As a journalist, wisdom. As a journalism professor who is a Christian, an excellent resource 9and potential textbook!) This book would be perfect for first-year programs for incoming freshmen as well as courses on social media, communications, and political science.
