Let's spot fake news -

List all the tips which help the reader to spot fake news into an on line story

he issue of spreading misinformation and fake news is a major problem worldwide. Even students are being targeted with the problem. As per a study conducted by Stanford University, only a quarter of high school students could distinguish a real news story from several fake ones. They also failed to identify fake photographs, as well as doctored videos.

Students should be cautious while looking at all news that is spread globally. They must understand the article’s context and identify who wrote it. Moreover, they should check recent events to see if anything has changed since the article was published.

Secondly, they should also verify the authenticity of the news by finding out the source’s reliability. Is the site in the good books of the journalism industry? Are there any authentic sources, or does the article have a satirical tone?

So you must check these before actually believing any word of the news shared.

It is highly important to evaluate the article’s structure. Check for any misleading or instigator words or anything that hints towards propaganda.
