ACTIVITY 4.

2: DETECTING FAKE NEWS ONLINE

https://adobochronicles.com/ THE ADOBO CHRONICLES is your source of up-to-


date, unbelievable news. Everything you read on
this site is based on fact, except for the lies.

https://professionalheckler.com Having over 100,000 followers on Twitter,


Professional Heckler is quite a popular blogger who
is recognized for his humour blog that contains
stories about the latest trends in social media.
Although it’s more of a blog than a satirical website,
he has satirical posts too, tagged as satire which are
mostly formatted as news, but are actually
lampoons.
http://mosquitopress.tumblr.com/ Yet another satirical website is Mosquito Press. By
how Mosquito Press makes their articles, it’s almost
possible to believe that they are credible, with
direct quotes that make the articles believable.
Also, Mosquito Press is a term referring to
journalism during the Martial Law. Read the blog
for your daily dose of humour, but be sure not to
rely on this site for facts.

https://agilanews.wordpress.com As soon as you reach Agila News’ website you know


that this is not something you should take seriously.
The phrase “we won’t let the facts get in the way of
a good story” automatically presupposes that this is
a satirical website that produces humorous content
that has nothing to do with facts. It’s somehow
informative and funny as it tackles pressing issues,
but then again according to the website itself, “if
you think any of the news articles are true, you
should get yourself checked.”
https://sowhatsnews.wordpress.com So, What’s News? Is a satirical and fictional website
as posted on their page. Its main purpose is to
create content that will make readers be interested
in their satirical and sarcastic way of presenting
news. It’s supposed to be a different take on
reading news that comes from mainstream news
organizations. For a fun read, it’s worth a visit but if
you’re looking for facts, it’s not the place to be.
