[Air-L] Hype Literacy Toolkit

[Jascha Bareis]

Dear colleagues,

Hype Studies <https://hypestudies.org/> is delighted to present /The 
Hype Literacy Toolkit/ <https://akademie.dw.de/hype-literacy/>, a free, 
publicly available online course created in cooperation with Deutsche 
Welle Akademie 
<https://akademie.dw.com/en/the-hype-literacy-toolkit-for-journalists/a-76716043>, 
which introduces “the study of hype as an urgent force that shapes 
technological development, economics, politics, and journalism”.

Journalists, students, academics, policymakers can learn about how tech 
hype transforms society. The aim is to recognize hype, unmask its 
playbook and to understand how to talk and research better about 
emerging technologies like AI, Quantum or Nanotech and their impact on 
the world.

The course was presented at the International Journalist Festival in 
Perugia 
<https://www.journalismfestival.com/programme/2026/hype-literacy-reporting-on-ai-beyond-the-buzz> 
last week.

Warmly,

Jascha Bareis in the name of the hypestudies group
