Fake News today
Hello
readers!! I’am Ma.Rochelle Daliva and today I was about to discuss about Fake
News In social Media. Fake News is a misinformation or hoaxes spread via broadcast news media or online social media. Fake news is written and published
with the intent to mislead in order to damage the real ones, entity.
In today’s society, especially our generation we are probably know that social
media has become a part of our everyday lives. We have access to all types of
information in the palm of our hands through our cellphones, iPads and other
handheld devices.
Social
media, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc., has taken the technological world to a
whole new level. Although we see how it can serve as positive through source of
communication, it can also serve as a negatively such ascyber bullying and
including the recent phenomenon that is commonly being referred to as “Fake
News”. Several research studies have focused on the public’s reliance on social media for their information. Hu, Liu and Zhang
(2008) discovered people turn to
their social media feeds for the news. That means that Twitter and Facebook,
the platforms that have, in some ways, democratized news more than ever before,
are allowing the public to be conned every single day by fake news that scrolls
across their screen.
Smock,
Ellison, Lampe and Wohn (2011) analyzed the reasons how people are being fed by
fake news stories. Among the reasons they found was people tend to share a
story particularly “fake news” they later found out was false.
