We hear alot about fake news all the time. The president especially loves this term, however in the article I read called “Fake News: How to Spot it” I learned what special indicators I should look for in all kinds of news outlets. In the article it breaks down the four kinds of fake news: “Deliberate Misinformation,” “False Headlines,” “Social Media Sharing,” and “Satire.” Of these four the one we are most accustomed to seeing is probably social media sharing because as young adults we spend a decent amount of time on social media and many people end up sharing facts that “users might not take the time to research and verify.” In the early corona days we had a huge problem with people spreading false information about the virus over social media platforms. After finishing this article I found it to be very interesting and I want to share more about it and my thoughts on it;s take on fake news.
