Project
In Faber I want to develop a project I’ve had in mind for several months. It is a brief study to identify tools to detect fake news and informations that spread all over social networks and the Internet. The main aim of the project is to avoid those fake news to continue spreading and provide more knowledge on media, communication and journalism to people, specially youngsters. In global terms, the project has to become a tool to foster critical sense into society and a way to help people to surf the Internet more properly.
