Last year I wrote a research paper about critical reading and satirical news. It deals with how too often as a society we fail to be critical of news because we are not active participants with media. It also goes on to examine the role that satirical news may play in keeping people informed and critical. If you want to read the paper online, here is the link. Also, here is the pdf version.
great article, I highly recommend it. Reminds us to wake up when we’re reading.
