An attempt to make news reading an exercise to improve critical thinking. The POC is based on NYTimes article – “Footage Contradicts U.S. Claim That Nicolás Maduro Burned Aid Convoy”. POC is designed to make the reader assume a role of investigative journalism. For example, the reader is allowed to arrive at a wrong conclusion: “Its clear, he only set the truck on fire” and the article talks the reader out to a correct way of thinking-“But Colombian government released the footage, is it complete, lets examine it?”, making the user think about the report.
