J039 Truth, Lies, and the Internet: Mastering the Modern Information Ecosystem (undergraduate)

This is a seminar course only freshman undergraduate students.

You spend hours a day online, but who is actually in control of what you see? In an era of deepfakes, algorithmic bias, and viral misinformation, being “online” isn’t the same as being “informed.” This course pulls back the curtain on the Attention Economy to reveal how information is produced, manipulated, and consumed in the 21st century.
