How Can We Defend Ourselves From The Risk Of Misinformation?
Hello guys! Today I will be sharing to you my thoughts about fake news. I just want to address my concern as one of the most pressing issues in our country. Are you aware what is fake news is? So fake news, or hoax news, refers to false information or propaganda published under the guise of being authentic news. Fake news websites and channels push their fake news content in an attempt to mislead readers of the content and spread misinformation via social networks and word-of-mouth. Fake news is masterfully manipulated to look like credible journalistic reports that are easily spread online to large audiences willing to believe the fictions and spread the word.
To defend ourselves form the risk of misinformation we must think deeper to what is shallow, check and re-evaluate the information being presented. Be vigilant know how to validate the article you are reading make sure it isn’t a parody or satire. Look into the source we must know and validate who are the authors of the said article. Read beyond make an effort to check for suppoerting sources don’t just read the heading of the article instead understand the whole context. Know the intention of the article carefully scrutinize the article make sure it coincides with the current events, political and cultural trends. Lastly we must be wise know the article how was presented, we must not be deceived!
