Steve Jones, UIC distinguished professor of communication, was interviewed in an Associated Press article on Internet hoaxes, particularly ones that involve children, and what parents can do to verify and talk to their children about online content. Jones says the moral panic related to hoaxes is amplified up due to Internet’s role in the matter when compared to the decades-old spreading of a false belief that teenagers were hearing Satanic messages in rock songs. https://abc7.ws/2NHuhlJ
