Apology New York Times 21 May 2006
“Despite an immediate public denial by Airbus, the stand-up seat idea stood uncorrected for a week. And so, as often happens with nearly unbelievable stories, this one took on a life of its own. The concept grabbed headlines in scores of publications around the world and was even incorporated into illustrations on the cover of The New Yorker and on The Times's Op-Ed page.”

Apology New York Times 21 May 2006
"And the suggestion that an Airbus A380 with stand-up seats "could conceivably fit in 853 passengers" should have also raised questions. Just four weeks earlier, an [article in The New York Times] edited by Ms. Messinger had made clear that an A380 filled with regular coach seats was capable of carrying 853 passengers."

Or is it really a change?
The New York Times and the RMS Titanic
CBS News and the London Blitz
Television News and the Kennedy Assassination
Reuters and the Lincoln Assassination
Penny Newspapers and the Mexican War

CBS + London
Murrow builds his rep broadcast by
broadcast
Neighbors and Coworkers discussed broadcasts
Easy Availability of radios
Radio had already built some trust as
news source
CBS employed some print journalists
+ Steadily, his “facts” were proved “true”

What’s this mean?
How do your students “know” something is true?
Is it the same way you “know”?
Is it the same way your Board of Ed “knows”?

What’s this mean?
How do I train “information intelligence”?
Isn’t my filter important?
What do I do at what age?

Are all books good sources?
Are all newspapers good sources?

Information not medium

Critical
Can you find this fact in other places?
Are other things this source says believable?
Are there citations and connections?
To where?
What is the agenda of this author/publisher?
What do people I trust think?

Ideas
Truth is always complicated
In a dispute, are there agreed on facts?
If not, is there a “neutral point of view”?
We are responsible for understanding the stories we hear.

Difference between witnesses and hearsay
Differences between witnesses
Are police always believable?
What makes us trust one story more than another?

Training Doubters
Current technology allows us to challenge ideas in real time, to look things up, to compare answers.
Use of these technologies in your classroom will train critical thinking in ways otherwise close to impossible.
