<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.25in"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">Fake news often feels like a weapon in a never-ending war. In that analogy, libraries are the first line of defense. But maybe we need less focus
on fighting and more on diplomacy. After all, the harder we battle someone over their beliefs, the more resistant they become.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left:.25in"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">So how do we get around the Backfire Effect? First, we have to look at ourselves. Are our personal beliefs affecting our communication style? We
must create safe, nonjudgmental opportunities to teach our patrons how to assess information for accuracy and bias. That means we need to meet each patron at his/her own level. We need to educate our communities without alienating them or losing their trust.
We must use diplomacy without sacrificing what we represent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
