YouTube to offer fake news workshops to teenagers

 
YouTube will launch a series of workshops to help young content creators “tackle internet safety and issues around fake news”, the BBC reports.
It adds that the workshops, to be hosted in various locations around the UK, will be targeted towards people between 13 and 18 years old and are being promoted as part of International Citizens day.
YouTube personalities such as Beni’s Nadir Nahdi, will provide insight into fact checking, using online tools and how to respond to negative feedback.
Anne Smee, chief executive of UK Youth, said: “In this complex world, there is an urgent need to help young people embrace the positive aspects of connectivity but we must also support them to manage the negative effects.”
