What is Fake News?

Where Does Fake News Come From?
Fake news is not new, what is new is how easy to share information – both true and false – on a
massive scale. Social media platforms allow almost anyone to publish their thoughts or share stories to the
world. The problem is, most people don't check the source of the material that they view online before they
share it, which can lead to fake news spreading quickly. But, not all fake news stories are found online.
Gossip in a workplace or in the community, also guilty of spreading misinformation even if inadvertently
are example of fake news.
The Impact of Fake News in the Workplace
Fake news can affect behavior. It encourages people to invent excuses, to dismiss others' ideas, to
exaggerate the truth, and to spread rumors. Misinformation and fake news can also harm your business.
Invented reviews of your products or inaccurate financial updates, for example, can do serious reputational
damage.
Six Ways to Spot Fake New

1. Develop a Critical Mindset. One of the main reasons fake news is such a big issue is that it is often
believable and also written to create "shock value," that is, a strong instinctive reaction such as fear
2
or anger. It is important that you keep your emotional response to such stories in check. Instead,
approach what you see and hear rationally and critically.
2. Check the Source. Check the web address for the page you're reading. Spelling errors in company
names, or strange-sounding extensions like ".info net" and “. offer," rather than ".com" or “. co.uk,"
may mean that the source is suspect. Trusted online fact-checking sites like Snopes can help you to
verify stories that sound too good to be true.
3. See Who Else Is Reporting the Story. Has anyone else picked up on the story? What do other
sources say about it? Professional global news agencies such as Reuters, CNN and the BBC have
rigorous editorial guidelines and extensive networks of highly trained reporters, so are a good place
to start.
4. Examine the Evidence. A credible news story will include plenty of facts – quotes from experts,
survey data and official statistics, for example. Or detailed, consistent and corroborated eye-witness
accounts from people on the scene. If these are missing, question it!
5. Don't Take Images at Face Value. Modern editing software has made it easy for people to create
fake images that look real. In fact, research shows that only half of us can tell when images are fake.
Google Reverse Image Search is one of the tools use to check where an image originated and
whether it has been altered.
6. Check That it "Sounds Right"
7. Finally, use your common sense! Bear in mind that fake news is designed to "feed" your biases,
hopes or fears.
