Can these students in Nairobi spot 'fake news'?
Are young people better at spotting 'fake news' than grownups or are they more likely to be swayed by what they see on social media? 大象传媒 School Report, which gives 11-18 year olds the chance to develop their media literacy skills, held a workshop at Naramat Academy, a secondary school in Nairobi, to educate pupils about spotting misinformation.
Newsday's Alan Kasujja met three of the schools students to talk about their experience of sorting the real from the fake.
