To highlight the pervasive issue of misinformation, the Columbia Journalism Review launched 'The Fake News Stand' in New York City. This installation mimicked a traditional newsstand but featured entirely fabricated newspapers with sensational headlines. Passersby were confronted with the ease of disseminating false information, prompting reflection on media consumption habits. The initiative aimed to promote critical thinking and underscore the importance of credible journalism in an era rife with "fake news."
