Fake news is not
something that is new but it has become a bigger issue in the past few years.
Fake news has grown into something extremely present in today’s world because
of how easy it is to publish anything you want on the Internet. Hugh Linehan
was quoted saying, “Media is no longer passively consumed – it’s created,
shared, liked, commented on, attacked and defended in all sorts of different
ways by hundreds of millions of people…” How can we combat fake news? Well
sites and applications have already added tools such as red flagging and
reporting false information. Companies like BBC have also created fact-checking
websites. [1 image, 1 link, 1 quotation, 106 words] https://www.webwise.ie/teachers/what-is-fake-news/
