New discussion list, and presentations on #fakenews

There is a new jiscmail email discussion list, aimed at library and information professionals interested in issues around fake news. Go to https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=LIS-FAKENEWS to subscribe. This follows up from the This Is Not A Fake Conference run at London South Bank University (UK) in June 2018. The presentations from this are at https://libguides.lsbu.ac.uk/llrblog/thisisnotafakeconference
There are a lot of interesting-looking presentations including New research needs to be better reported and librarians can help with that (Andy Tattersall); Critical Approaches to Sourcing Information on the Web and Fake News (Carol Hollier); The Charlotte Project - Engaging youth on fake news (Peter Keep).
