A few weeks ago, I spoke to Craig Silverman who is conducting a a research project with the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University that focuses on how unverified information and rumor are reported in the media. We had a discussion of how I pick and write stories for Doubtful News, a site that casts a critical eye on some rather outrageous media stories on anomalies, the paranormal, alternative treatments and other kinds of questionable claims.
Craig knows what he’s talking about when it comes to media misinformation. Just like me, he’s trying to figure out how to present good information and dispel the bad stuff as well and as fast as possible.
