Question

How can we distinguish real news from fake news? What role does social media play in spreading news?

Answer 1

First, look for major bias in your sources, look at other articles published by the same source and determine whether they have major bias, i say major bias because all news sources have bias, it’s an unavoidable subject. Look at many different sources and compare them, look at their similarities and differences, do as much research as you can and see the points that come up the most often, they are most likely facts that will be useful. Social media is all around us, not just the apps we have on our phones, but the radio, tv, newspapers, magazines, pretty much any news source is social media, even if we dont seem to be affected by it, we are subconsciously at least slightly affected.
