“The news media landscape has changed dramatically over the past decades. Through digital sources, there has been a tremendous increase in the reach of journalism, social media, and public engagement.” News media has changed, like the winding paths of a river. So it is fair to assume that so has the ploy of FAKE NEWS. Of course the obvious offenders are still out there, can even be easy to spot when the news if given from a third party site that you know better than to trust. But what about when misinformation is mixed in with real news? News media has changed, there are bends in the river when smaller streams join in. How do we know that the new waters are just as safe as the old ones? We do not, and that leaves up a creek without a paddle. No News media is safe, misinformation is just as bad as fake news.
