This week’s Rose Café with Professor Schwarz was very informative and involved. He focused on what defines fake news and how to identify what is fake news and what is biased. I really found it particularly poignant that he made it clear that biased news is not exactly fake – there is still factual aspects to it and are correct in reporting the issue at hand, but it merely how they interpret it and project it that makes it biased, as opposed to just being flat out incorrect. I thought it was incredibly interesting that he actually had access to the New York Times facility for almost 7 years and learned how the process of publishing papers, even with incorrect assertions, is quite meticulous. I also found it very interesting that major newspapers often correct themselves on issues they wrote incorrectly in a very subtle manner, often pages deep into the paper and not highlighting that they were incorrect. It was interesting to see how everyone else in the discussion became involved in identifying how other people in current times interact with fake news and what attracts them to it as well. Overall, my favorite Rose Café thus far!
