Do you know how to recognise fake news?

From clever headlines to convincing images, it’s getting harder to tell what’s real online, and what isn’t! Misinformation spreads fast, and anyone can be caught out.

To reduce the chances of you getting caught join us at Westhill library on Thursday 30th April, 7.30pm to 9.30pm. Here we will be looking at how to explore how fact and fiction blur in the digital world, and learn simple ways to question what you see and share.
