Earlier this year, IFLA published a blog post
<http://blogs.ifla.org/lpa/2017/01/27/alternative-facts-and-fake-news-verifiability-in-the-information-society/>
about
fake news and alternative facts along with the infographic How To Spot Fake
News <http://www.ifla.org/publications/node/11174>, as part of Wikipedia’s
#1lib1ref (One Librarian, One Reference) campaign. The global hot topic
fake news and the post-truth society is of great importance to libraries,
as critical thinking is a key media and information literacy skill that
libraries all around the world educate and advocate for.



This morning, CNN International <http://edition.cnn.com/tv> picked up on
IFLA’s infographic and broadcasted it in a Christiane Amanpour coverage
<https://twitter.com/camanpour/status/836660067466280960> of the Ukrainian
news channel fighting fake news. IFLA is very happy and proud to see this
important message spread all over the world, and we will continue to work
within and outside the library community to promote media and information
literacy and critical thinking – making societies better and stronger.



Through voluntary efforts by an engaged library community IFLA is now able
to provide translations of the infographic in fifteen languages – with more
translations pending. The translations can be found on this page
<http://www.ifla.org/publications/node/11174>, and if you miss your
language you’re welcome to make your own translation – just contact Karolina
Andersdotter <karolina.andersdotter at ifla.org> or Evgeni Hristov
<evgeni.hristov at ifla.org> at IFLA Headquarters for an editable version of
the infographic. The infographic is published under CC BY 4.0
