about 8,000 students, from middle school to college age, and their ability to distinguish between

real news written by journalist and advertisements sponsored by other groups to mimic real

news. The author states there are seven types of evidence that Scholars typically invoked during

public policy discussions. 1. Expert judgement: The knowledge provided by someone with

Statistical data: Measurable information presented in numerical format. 7. Research: Findings
