Intro to SIFTing Through the Outbreak

Author: Mike Caulfield

Caulfield, Mike. “Sifting Through the Pandemic.” Sifting Through the Pandemic, 2020, infodemic.blog/.

There’s a lot of bad information out there about the recent coronavirus outbreak. At the same time, just tuning out is not an option. Whether it’s currently an epidemic or a pandemic, it’s serious business.

What can we do about this? How can we take advantage of the new levels of online engagement of the public with these issues while making sure that engagement is not manipulated by bad actors, or misinformed by error?

Over the past four years, I have worked with students and faculty to identify the core skills and habits that students and citizens are missing that leave them vulnerable to misinformation and disinformation on the web. We have organized them into a model called SIFT: Stop, Investigate the source, Find better coverage, and Trace claims, quotes and media to the original context.

We call these “moves” and we tie each one to a couple simple skills you can usually execute in 30 seconds or less. You can learn all the moves and associated skills in less than an hour, and our work with students indicates that these skills will make a dramatic difference in your ability to sort fact from fiction on the web (and everything in between).

Stop

When you feel strong emotion, surprise, or just an irrepressible urge to share something… stop. Then use your other moves…
