Web Credibility and Hoaxes

Using clips from Frederick Marx's short documentary on Josephy Skaggs, a performance artist who pulls hoaxes on the media, this video centers on his hoax The Solomon Project and how it could be used as a conduit for a discussion on web credibility and the media. Discussion questions could include: What the media could have done differently? Should they have called NYU and verified his credentials? Should they have asked for a live performance of the program? What other things could they have done?
