Between cable TV, the internet, and social media, we are inundated with information, and misinformation. Sometimes, it can be difficult to sort out what is real news -- and what is fake news.

Paul L. Hodges graduated with his Masters in Library and Information Science degree in May 2010 from the University of South Florida. He has worked in libraries since 2004 and has worked for Broward County Libraries since 2016.
