There’s a new game on the Internet which is fun and absolutely brilliant in its educational aims. In Bad News, you take on the role of a fake news copywriter. As its creators say: “Drop all pretense of ethics and choose a path that builds your persona as an unscrupulous media magnate”.

The gamification guides you through all the key ingredients of fake news: polarisation, emotion, conspiracy theories, and more! They take the form of badges, which you are awarded for mastering each technique — always keeping an eye on your ‘followers’ and ‘credibility’ meters. Enjoy this gamified vaccine against fake news!
