<p>Dear colleagues,</p>
<p> <a href="https://hypestudies.org/" moz-do-not-send="true">Hype
Studies</a> is delighted to present <a
href="https://akademie.dw.de/hype-literacy/"
moz-do-not-send="true"><em>The Hype Literacy Toolkit</em></a>,
a free, publicly available online course created in cooperation
with <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://akademie.dw.com/en/the-hype-literacy-toolkit-for-journalists/a-76716043">Deutsche
Welle Akademie</a>, which introduces “the study of hype as an
urgent force that shapes technological development, economics,
politics, and journalism”.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The course was presented at the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.journalismfestival.com/programme/2026/hype-literacy-reporting-on-ai-beyond-the-buzz">International
Journalist Festival in Perugia</a> last week. </p>
<p>Warmly,</p>
<p>Jascha Bareis in the name of the hypestudies group</p>
