FOMO or “Fear of missing out” is the anxiety
that one has, caused by the fear of missing
out on a social event or any other positive
experience, especially one that you have
heard about through social media.

It’s a condition caused by social anxiety and


characterized by a desire to stay continually
connected with what others are doing.
– Typically uses
humor or exaggeration
to present audiences
with news updates.
(Tandoc, Lim & Ling, 2018, p.141)

– Plays on
vague plausibility of the
news item.

“How did I miss that?”
*char English*
Many of them are graphically simple when compared with
big online news outlets. Others my seem unprofessional
in terms of design, and you’ll be able to see their creators
didn’t pay a lot of attention to the website design.

The same thing applies to the website logo, which is


usually simple and crudely designed.
This doesn’t mean the organization reporting the news,
but rather the source of a story for you, the reader.

Where did you see it?


a) Misuse of anonymous sources can indicate
that a story is indeed fake.
b) If the source is a person who is named or a
document that’s cited, it’s still worth doing
some fact checking.
c) If you suspect a quote is fake, Google it to
see if it appears on any other websites and,
if so, which ones.
Another thing you can do to avoid fake news is to
check when the story was reported and at what time,
and how often the outlet publishes in general.

Example: a news outlet which has only reported on politics a few


times is highly unlikely to break a huge political scandal.
