Is the use of watermarks on online documents a sustainable way of fighting fake news? I.e, If info from Council of Governors, to have its watermark? On Wed, Sep 20, 2017 at 1:55 PM, Ali Hussein via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Dear Listeners,
Researchers have spent decades trying to understand how such misinformation (fake news) spreads and, now, a review of their work offers new guidance for the journalists, fact-checkers and others working to find, and defend, the truth.
In a report published last week <http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0956797617714579> in Psychological Science, a team of academics reviewed two decades of research to better understand how to effectively debunk misinformation. In the end, they found eight worthwhile studies, with more than 6,800 participants.
